Object-Oriented Programming

FEATURES:

• Shows how to think effectively with objects - to apply OOA and OOD to architect a more effective solution for construction with OOP. Fully-integrates the facets of OOA, OOD and OOP along the way.
• Uses a graduated series of four engaging, provocative everyday examples that show what really happens - the initial steps, false starts, evolving solutions, and surprise observations.
• Features a hands-on approach in each example - readers begin with an OOA model, make OOD additions along the way, and, from those results, plan and construct both Smalltalk and C++ applications - which are worked out in parallel.
• Includes access to very low-cost "book versions" of leading languages and environments - enabling readers to run the applications and obtain frequent, tangible, working results.
• Provides extensive source code for the major examples.
