Object-Oriented Design in Java

is an important addition to the Mitchell WaiteSignature Series. This unique book focuses on an area that gets little or nocoverage in conventional programming language texts: how to designprograms. To take full advantage of Java, or of any of today's object-orientedlanguages, programmers must learn fundamental design principles as well asthe syntax of code. This tutorial teaches program design in a format evenbeginning programmers can understand.You'll learn to use a design notation system that makes it easier to representthe design features of a program. Unlike conventional texts in softwaredesign, this book starts with concrete solutions and uses examples todemonstrate theory and abstract principles. This approach is aimed at hands-on programmers who learn best by working through problems in step-by-stepfashion.

Object-Oriented Design in Java

, like the other titles in the Mitchell WaiteSignature Series, is a highly developed, carefully crafted book that deliversclear, thorough coverage. Written by expert authors, these books aresubjected to ardent development, exhaustive review, and meticulousproduction. They are designed to satisfy, without compromise, the time-honored, award winning standards for high-quality publications established byThe Waite Group and its founder, Mitchell Waite.
