Covering the latest in Java technologies, Object-Oriented Programming and Java teaches the subject in a systematic, fundamentals-first approach. It begins with the description of real-world object interaction scenarios and explains how they can be translated, represented and executed using object-oriented programming paradigm. By establishing a solid foundation in the understanding of object-oriented programming concepts and their applications, this book provides readers with the pre-requisites for writing proper object-oriented programs using Java.

An Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming with Java provides an accessible and thorough introduction to the basics of programming in java. This much-anticipated revision continues its emphasis on object-oriented programming. Objects are used early so students begin thinking in an object-oriented way, then later Wu teaches students to define their own classes. In the third edition, the author has eliminated the author-written classes, so students get accustomed to using the standard java libraries. In the new update, the author has included the Scanner Class for input, a new feature of Java 1.5. Also new is the use of smaller complete code examples to enhance student learning. The larger sample development programs are continued in this edition, giving students an opportunity to walk incrementally walk through program design, learning the fundamentals of software engineering. The number and variety of examples makes this a student-friendly text that teaches by showing. Object diagrams continue to be an important element of Wu's approach. The consistent, visual approach assists students in understanding concepts.

Functional and flexible, this guide takes an objects-first approach to Java programming and problem using games and puzzles. Updated to cover Java version 1.5 features, such as generic types, enumerated types, and the Scanner class. Offers independent introductions to both a command-line interface and a graphical user interface (GUI). Features coverage of Unified Modeling Language (UML), the industry-standard, object-oriented design tool. Illustrates key aspects of Java with a collection of game and puzzle examples. Instructor and Student resources available online. For introductory computer programming students or professionals interested in learning Java.

An Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming with Java provides an accessible and technically thorough introduction to the basics of programming using java. The text takes a truly object-oriented approach. Objects are used early so that students think in objects right from the beginning.

This self-readable and highly informative text presents the exhaustive coverage of the concepts of Object Oriented Programming with JAVA. A number of good illustrative examples are provided for each concept supported by well-crafted programs, thus making it useful for even those having no previous knowledge of programming. Starting from the preliminaries of the language and the basic principles of OOP, this textbook moves gradually towards advanced concepts like exception handling, multithreaded programming, GUI support by the language through AWT controls, string handling, file handling and basic utility classes. In addition, the well-planned material in the book acts as a precursor to move towards high-end programming in Java, which includes the discussion of Servlets, Java Server Pages, JDBC, Swings, etc. The book is highly suitable for all undergraduate and postgraduate students of computer science, computer applications, computer science and engineering and information technology. KEY FEATURES Extensive coverage of syllabi of various Indian universities Comprehensive coverage of the OOP concepts and Core Java Explanation of the concepts using simple and expressive language Complete explanation of the working of each program with more emphasis on the core segment of the program Chapter-end summary, over 230 illustrative programs, around 225 review questions, about 190 true/false questions and over 130 programming exercises

Covering both the fundamentals and applications, Object Oriented Programming through Java provides a thorough introduction to this popular programming paradigm. It includes coverage of essential topics such as classes, objects, packages, interfaces, multithreading, AWT, Applets, and Swings. The book also includes a detailed overview of various practical applications, including JDBC, Networking classes, and servlets. It contains exercises at the end of every chapter, and sample illustrative programs are used throughout the book. It is a text for courses on object oriented Java programming and a reference for professionals.

The goal of this book is to explore the principle ideas of object-oriented programming using the Java programming language. It begins teaching the object-oriented power of Java by relying on textual commands instead of emphasizing the AWT or Swing libraries, providing the reader with a simple, generic introduction to the OO concepts using Java (without the language details getting in the way of the concept presentation). The author provides a thorough introduction to the three fundamental concepts of object-oriented programming: Encapsulation, Inheritance, and Polymorphism. The presentation of OO theory is augmented by interleaved examples that illustrate these concepts. Most of these program examples are 2-D graphics programs that provide an intuitive context for the issues that must be addressed when learning OOP. Additionally, since graphics programming is one of the strengths of the Java development environment, the examples produce interesting and unexpected images that engage and motivate the reader. It contains a concise introduction to using Design Patterns particularly the Template Method, Iterator, and Composite design patterns which relate to the graphics examples in the book and uses UML class diagrams to show the static structure of systems and sequence diagrams to show object interactions. This book is appropriate for readers who are new to object-oriented (but have experience with a non-object-oriented language) and for programmers who want to learn the graphical elements and capabilities of Java.

Paul Wang's JAVA WITH OBJECT-ORIENTED PROGRAMMING eases students into an understanding of the object-oriented paradigm from the very first page, just as he does in JAVA WITH OBJECT-ORIENTED PROGRAMMING WITH WORLDWIDE WEB APPLICATIONS, on which this new book is modeled. After the early chapters that present classes and Java features and constructs, Wang introduces new object-oriented concepts throughout the book, while clearly showing how Java addresses these issues. He also goes the extra step of including case studies to illustrate how Java and object-oriented programming are applied. Early in the book, Wang introduces students to a case study involving a pocket calculator. This case study is revisited throughout the book as students learn new aspects of object-oriented programming and the Java language. The book then concludes with a chapter on some of the processes associated with object-oriented design. As a result, students are able to fully grasp the concepts they learn.

Jia (software engineering, DePaul University) helps readers develop skills in designing software, and especially in writing object- oriented programs using Java. The text provides broad coverage of object-oriented technology, including object-oriented modeling using the Unified Modeling Language (UML), object-oriented design using design patterns, and object-oriented programming using Java. This second edition offers expanded coverage of design patterns, enhanced material on UML, and a new introduction to the iterative software development process made popular by extreme programming. Learning features include chapter summaries, exercises, and projects.
