Synopsis :

The Object of Java takes an "objects-centric" approach to problem solving and programming using Java. This new edition takes full advantage of the new features of Java 5.0, and has replaced the use of the aLibrary package with increased emphasis on awt and swing. 

 

This book takes an objects first approach, and also focuses on the skills and discipline of software engineering that are needed for good programming.  Since specifications are critical for conveying code behavior in the object-oriented model, discussions of method preconditions and postconditions, and class invariants are used consistently to document examples and to define example classes.  It also uses the notion of patterns to identify numerous expressions, instructions, algorithms and designs that serve to pattern program segments.

The Object of Java, 2/e

The Object of Java uses an “object-centric” approach to give students a solid introduction to the power of programming with Java. This edition fully incorporates features of the Java 5.0 language, along with the use of Java’s awt and swing classes, providing students with an opportunity to practice the skills and techniques that serve as the building blocks of modern software development.

The Object of Java, Second Edition features:

• Greater emphasis on objects–goes beyond an “early-objects” focus, making objects a theme from the very start. Includes examples and exercises that explore object-oriented programming and clarifies how it applies to software engineering.
• Software engineering focus–weaves software engineering programming skills into every topic. Incorporates the use of Unified Modeling Language (UML), pattern-based programming, and pre- and post-conditions.
• New Java 5.0–the advantages of this language upgrade include the use of generics, the assert statement, enumerated data types, the Scanner class, and discussions on the for loop statement.
• Swing and awt–preserves and enhances the text’s fundamental reliance on Java’s “real” external classes and gentle introduction to applications with graphical user interfaces (GUIs).
• Over 80 complete program examples.
