Book Description
This book can give any Java developer -- regardless of
experience -- the firm foundation they need to achieve the full benefits
of object-oriented programming. The book combines practical
introductions to UML, object-oriented methodologies, design patterns,
libraries, and frameworks -- giving developers all the skills they need
to begin writing robust object-oriented programs -- and to tackle the
entire field of object-oriented development. Leading developer Bruce
Wampler begins with a brief introduction to objects and their benefits;
then introduces the fundamental concepts of object orientation and shows
how they can be implemented in Java -- starting with the basics, and
moving on to advanced topics such as object lifetime and copies of
objects. He moves on to Object-Oriented Analysis and Design, introducing
the essential concepts at the heart of every methodology. Next, he
presents the essence of today's leading techniques for building
effective object-oriented Java systems -- including design patterns,
refactoring, and more. Wampler concludes by drawing on his decades of
development experience to share powerful personal guidelines for
creating more effective software. For all application developers who
know at least the basics of Java, and are seeking to strengthen their
object-oriented programming skills.
