Object Oriented Programming from Problem Solving to Java

Object-oriented programming from problem solving to Java provides a thorough, easy-to-follow reference to master object-oriented programming principles. Throughout the text, problem solving and programming techniques are presented in modeling diagrams, pseudo-code, and flowcharts. Users then learn how to put theory into practice using actual Java code. Unlike 'cookbook' Guides - where user blindly follow the instructions - This book encourages users to explore their problem solving creativity, and then test their ideas in a real-world environment. By first learning the concepts involved in object-oriented programming, and then learning how to put them into use, readers not only learn Java, but they also learn how to become more efficient programmers.Key features* encourages users to find creative, practical solutions to programming problems, and allows them to test their ideas with object-oriented programming.* uses pseudocode to describe a problem's solution; then uses Java as the implementation language* organized to follow introductory courses in programming principles; exercise sets and 'key terms' Are included in reinforce concepts.* Provides a gentle learning curve to those with little or no programming experience, taking novice users to higher level of proficiency* includes a CD-ROM with all the source code for the projects in the book, with additional programs and case studies at the companion web site.
