FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Create Dice Games, Word Games, Card Games and More, Yourself
ROCHESTER, MN - August 26, 2014 - Annette Godtland just published her second book in the Do-It-Yourself Java Games series. Her new book, More Do-It-Yourself Java Games: An Introduction to Java Graphics and Event-Driven Programming, guides the reader to create more colorful, more interactive puzzles and games. Through her books, Annette hopes to inspire others to try computer programming.
What Makes These Books Unique? Unlike most other programming books, each Do-It-Yourself Java Games book leads the reader to create a variety of complete programs.
The Do-It-Yourself Java Games books take a try-it approach to teaching. Annette feels people can often learn more by doing than by reading. Starting with the first lesson, the reader is encouraged to try writing program code and see what happens.
The Do-It-Yourself Java Games series of books are designed for e-readers. Click the link below every fill-in-the-blank program listing to see the answer. Bookmark the glossary and follow the links to pages with more details. Search for lesson summaries to review all the lessons. None of these functions is possible with a paper book.
The Games - The first book in the series, Do-It-Yourself Java Games: An Introduction to Java Computer Programming, taught the reader to complete thirteen different programs. These text-based programs led the reader to learn Java programming fundamentals. The first book included games like Choose an Adventure, Secret Code, Hangman, Crazy Eights.
The second book, More Do-It-Yourself Java Games: An Introduction to Java Graphics and Event-Driven programming, leads the reader to complete ten different programs, while learning to use windows and dialogs, keyboard and mouse input, and photos and images. The games include several tile puzzles, a dice game, a word game, a card game, and others.
Both the try-it approach used, and the programs created, were specifically chosen to appeal to people who like to solve puzzles. Annette hopes young and old alike will enjoy the programming discoveries, the puzzle and game programs they create, and the satisfaction of doing it themselves.
