This book provides a one-semester course on object-oriented (OO) programming in Java. The book is intended for students with no previous experience of programming or OO concepts. The book is intended to be suitable as either an introductory programming text for first year undergraduates or for postgraduate students new to programming, in particular postgraduates on conversion programmes from other non-computer science disciplines. The content introduces the idea of what a programming language is, and then develops core knowledge of procedural programming constructions, and then introduces the key object-oriented concepts. The notion of OO design is intertwined with the Java coding, so that students can understand how best to develop appropriate OO solutions to solve real-world problems. The book uses the BlueJ Integrated Development Environment (IDE) to support the coding examples. | Concise Guide To Object-oriented Programming by Kingsley Sage, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
