Understanding object-oriented programming with Java cover

Understanding object-oriented programming with Java

by Timothy Budd

"This updated edition of Understanding Object-Oriented Programming with Java develops the object-oriented programming skills of experienced programmers by showing them how to use Java 2, the latest release of Sun's Java platform. Dr. Budd provides a complete understanding of the philosophy behind Java 2 and teaches readers why the Java language works the way it does, unlike many other authors who focus only on how Java works. The book begins by covering the language-independent concepts that are at the heart of the Java world and then moves on to introducing Java through several example programs. This is followed by an in-depth discussion of inheritance and polymorphism. The book concludes with material on important features of Java that are not object-oriented."--BOOK JACKET.
