Wcs Introduction To Programming And Object Oriented Design Using Java Custom Edition For University Of Hawaii

The 3rd edition of Introduction to Programming and Object-Oriented Design continues to provide students with an objects first introduction to programming and software design using Java. Java is used as a vehicle for teaching problem modeling using fundamental software engineering principles and concepts. The text has been updated to include more problems and exercises and additional relevant examples. It also offers optional, interactive exercises using the DrJava integrated development environment (IDE). The UML is employed (very informally) for denoting objects, object relationships, and system dynamics. No specific previous programming experience is assumed, and the text is appropriate for first year computer science majors. The text could also carry over to a second course on data structures or software/OO design.

Publisher description: Nino and Hosch have updated their popular introductory text that provides an objects first introduction to programming and software design using Java. The emphasis throughout is on problem modeling using fundamental software engineering princi-ples and concepts. Java used as a vehicle for teaching these topics. New constructs and features of Java 5.0, such as generics, are introduced. The text includes optional, interactive exercises using the DrJava integrated development environment (IDE). The UML is employed (very informally) for denoting objects, object relationships, and system dynamics. No specific previous programming experience is assumed, and the text is appropriate for first year computer science majors. The text could also carry over to a second course on data structures or software/OO design. About DrJava: DrJava is an IDE designed primarily for students and includes an easy to use facility for interactively evaluating Java code. Optional DrJava exercises are included throughout the text if instructors want their students doing more pro-gramming. DrJava is the IDE chosen by the authors, but any IDE can be used for these exercises.

Market_Desc: Programmers, Software Engineers. Special Features: " Emphasis on distinction between specification and implementation; use of programming by contract ." Emphasis on developing components that are conceptual parts of a larger system, rather than on building small, self-contained programs." Established design patterns introduced informally throughout the text. About The Book: This text is an introduction to software design and construction using the programming language Java. The approach is entirely object-oriented, sometimes called object first. The emphasis throughout is on problem modeling using fundamental software engineering principles and concepts. Though Java is introduced and used throughout the text, this is not primarily a text about Java.

Object-Oriented Design with UML and Java provides an integrated introduction to object-oriented design with the Unified Modelling Language (UML) and the Java programming language. The book demonstrates how Java applications, no matter how small, can benefit from some design during their construction. Fully road-tested by students on the authors' own courses, the book shows how these complementary technologies can be used effectively to create quality software. It requires no prior knowledge of object orientation, though readers must have some experience of Java or other high level programming language. This book covers object technology; object-oriented analysis and design; and implementation of objects with Java. It includes two case studies dealing with library applications. The UML has been incorporated into a graphical design tool called ROME, which can be downloaded from the book's website. This object modelling environment allows readers to prepare and edit various UML diagrams. ROME can be used alongside a Java compiler to generate Java code from a UML class diagram then compile and run the resulting application for hands-on learning. This text would be a valuable resource for undergraduate students taking courses on O-O analysis and design, O-O modelling, Java programming, and modelling with UML. * Integrates design and implementation, using Java and UML * Includes case studies and exercises * Bridges the gap between programming texts and high level analysis books on design
