Features: This book is the new edition of a classic textbook on object-oriented technology, with the original version used as a teaching material by many world-renowned universities such as Columbia University, the University of Florida, the University of South Africa, and the University of Rome. It introduces the principles of object-oriented programming through concepts such as objects, methods, inheritance (including multiple inheritance), and polymorphism in a language-independent manner. The examples in the book cover various programming languages, including Java, C++, C#, Delphi, Python, CLOS, Eiffel, Objective-C, Smalltalk, etc. By studying these programming languages, readers can better understand the fundamental principles underlying different language syntaxes. The book defines object-oriented programming terminology; provides extensive comparisons between Java, C++, and C#; discusses how object-oriented languages apply various polymorphism techniques through case studies, and explains how to use polymorphism to build software frameworks; delves into multiple inheritance techniques in multiple object-oriented languages, including multiple interfaces and nested classes; introduces the differences between subclasses and subtypes; integrates and utilizes UML notation and diagrams; covers advanced topics such as design patterns, reflection and introspection, network programming, and implementation techniques for object-oriented languages.
The book introduces the principles of object-oriented programming through concepts such as objects, methods, inheritance (including multiple inheritance), and polymorphism in a language-independent manner. The examples in the book cover various programming languages, including Java, C++, C#, Delphi, Python, CIDS, Eiffel, Objective-C, Smalltalk, etc. By studying these programming languages, readers can better understand the fundamental principles underlying different language syntaxes. Additionally, the author analyzes and compares these languages from an object-oriented perspective.
The book is comprehensive and particularly suitable as a textbook for senior undergraduate and first-year graduate students in computer science. It is also ideal for beginners who are transitioning from traditional procedural programming to object-oriented programming and wish to learn the basic concepts of object-oriented programming.
