Object-Oriented Software Development in Java

With the popularity of C++ and Java, program design has become as important to individual commercial programmers as it has been to programmers developing immense government-sponsored software projects. Designed for a course on object-oriented design at the Junior-, Senior-, and Graduate-level, Object-Oriented Software Development in Java prepares students for the industry's move toward object-oriented languages by introducing design concepts early and then moving on to Java.
