Product Description

Product Description

This book develops the object-oriented programming skills of experienced programmers (at the Junior, Senior or above level) by showing how to use Java 2 (the latest release of Sun's Java platform), and by providing a complete understanding of the philosophy behind Java 2. It starts out covering the language-independent concepts that are at the heart of the Java world, and then moves on to introduce Java through several example programs. Following this is an in-depth discussion on inheritance and polymorphism. Finally, the book concludes with material on important features of Java that are not object-oriented.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for OO design with Java, 12 April 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Understanding Object-Oriented Programming Using Java: Updated Edition (new Java 2 Coverage) (Paperback)

I studied the Open University course M301, for which this is a set book. After completing the course, I now know why. This is an excellent introduction into how Java supports object oriented programming.

This is not a book to learn Java. However, anyone who has learnt the basics of Java MUST READ this book. It is the only way to develop good 'OO' practices.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for understanding Java-based OO programming, 20 Oct 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Understanding Object-Oriented Programming Using Java: Updated Edition (new Java 2 Coverage) (Paperback)

This book introduces object-oriented programming using Java for its examples. It is not a book to learn Java, rather a book about how to use Java properly. It takes you through standrad OO concepts such as inheritence and polymorphism using Java examples throughout. The treatment of sub-types is especially good. This book also has examples of how not to use inheritence as well as where it should be used.

The discussion of Java interfaces and patterns is also good.

This is a great book for those who want to understand object-oriented programming with a Java background. Those who have experience in C and C++ should have no problems here. If you are completely new to Java get an introductory book - I don't think there are any good ones on the market at the moment, though :-(.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good on OO Concepts, Poor on Java, 8 Mar 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Understanding Object-Oriented Programming Using Java: Updated Edition (new Java 2 Coverage) (Paperback)

Though a very good book for understanding the OO concepts it is quite poor if it is intended as a book to learn JAVA. The examples are not explained in enough depth and important JAVA syntax is either skipped or not given enough detail.
