Product Description

Product Description

In An Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming, Timothy Budd provides a language-independent presentation of object-oriented principles, such as objects, methods, inheritance (including multiple inheritance) and polymorphism. Examples are drawn from several different languages, including (among others) C++, C#, Java, CLOS, Delphi, Eiffel, Objective-C and Smalltalk. By examining many languages, the reader is better able to appreciate the general principles that lie beyond the syntax of the individual languages.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good practical interlingual introduction to OOP concepts., 29 Dec 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: An Introduction to Object Oriented Programming (Hardcover)

I used this text for an OOP course I taught to college sophomores whose previous background was Pascal and C. I chose this book because, almost uniquely in the field, it was NOT tied to one specific language and that language's OOP idiom, but rather pointed out significant differences among C++, Java, Smalltalk, Objective-C, and two different Object Pascals in their views of OOP. (I was disappointed by the absence of multi-dispatch languages such as CLOS from the list.) Budd introduces each major principle and programming construct in practical but language-independent terms, then illustrates how that construct is specified in several different languages.

I found Budd's treatment of the basic concepts much simpler, clearer, and less jargon-laden than that in Booch. My students had some trouble, but they got through much of the book, whereas I can't imagine them wading through Booch at all. I still like the interlingual approach, but I would advise teachers using the book to pick two or three of the languages and simply ignore the rest of the examples, to avoid confusing students too much.

I haven't found the ideal text for this course, but Budd is at least a pretty good one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good introduction to a beginer in OO, 20 Aug 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: An Introduction to Object Oriented Programming (Hardcover)

This book really shows you how to think in object oriented way, rather than how to simply code using oo techniques. This book is definitely a good starting point for a programmer who wants to think in object oriented way.
