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
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 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.
