Finally, the student develops the technology to solve the problem and then codes the solution.

Hallmark Features of the DEITEL^T Developer Series

This series is intended for the professional market. It most cases, the content of the How to Program Series and Developer Series is similar. Customers who purchase one book should not purchase the corresponding book from the other series. These textbooks are not intended for academic courses as they do not contain end-of-chapter material found in our How to Program and Simply Series textbooks nor are they supported with instructor materials.
