Java and Object Orientation: An Introduction is an introduction to object orientation for computer science students and those actively involved in the software industry. Object Orientation is discussed before the author goes on to introduce Java and, throughout, object oriented concepts are illustrated through the Java language with examples for the reader to follow. Design is included as well as coding, and guidance is given on how to build OO applications in Java. The construction of applications, not just applets is discussed in detail, showing how to turn any application into an applet. Java style guidelines are included, meeting the latest release of Java. This book provides guidance on how to build object oriented applications in Java and will be a valuable reference for undergraduates being introduced to object orientation and Java. It will also be of interest to those professionals who wish to convert to (or learn about) object orientation and Java.

5.0 out of 5 stars Has taken me from being a basic to an advanced Oo programmer, November 9, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Java and Object Orientation: An Introduction (Applied Computing) (Paperback)

Object oriented programming was a difficult concept to understand after years of procedural languages. I was scared of being left behind and chose Java to take me into the 21st century. After flittering between several books I finally found John Hunt's book and am now making my living out of programming in this amazing and versatile language.

This review is from: Java and Object Orientation: An Introduction (Applied Computing) (Paperback)

I went searching through the library for a book to help with my software engineering class project and eventually found Java and Object Orientation. All I've got to say is this book is incredible. The writing is clear and to the point. Example code turned out to very helpful (and useful). This book really helped to understand not only how to design good object-oriented programs, but also how to design a good object-oriented GUI. I recommend it to any computer science student or professional in search of a good book on Java and OO design and programming.

This review is from: Java and Object Orientation (Paperback)

I have bought the first edition and now the second. I also have other books written by John Hunt. His writing is as always clear, sharp and insightful. It shows through in this book too. Whereas some other bible books would need 1,000 pages, John can do with much fewer ones. And yet it can be much more far reaching. Teaching solid OO concepts while bringing the best out of Java, this book is a pleasure to read. So much that it will keep you wondering why other books never manage to be so clear and at the same time so complete. You will not be sorry.
