Object-oriented programming is the foundation of nearly all modern software languages, from Java and C# to Ruby and PHP5. Its powerful advantage range from productivity and maintainability to portability and reuse. But to take full advantage of objects, it's not enough for programmers to apply rote techniques: they must master a truly object-oriented thought process.

Thousands of developers have gained that deep mastery from Matt Weisfeld's Object-Oriented Thought Process. Now, Weisfeld has extensively updated this solutions-oriented primer to reflect the newest languages, applications, and program design techniques. Through ingenious code examples written in Java, current .NET languages, and Objective-C 2.0, Weisfeld illuminates concepts ranging from abstraction to public and private classes. He offers deep insight into code reuse and framework development, and helps programmers build objects that work well with databases and distributed systems. New coverage includes:

* A revamped chapter on portable data, with new coverage of XML, SOAP, JSON and related technologies

* Extensive updates to the chapter on persistent data in networked environments

* An all-new chapter on web services and mobile app development

* Coverage of unit testing in every chapter, reflecting its crucial importance to object-oriented design

This edition also supports instructors with extensive downloadable instructional materials.

Product Description

The Object-Oriented Thought Process, Fourth Edition

An introduction to object-oriented concepts for developers looking to master modern application practices

Object-oriented programming (OOP) is the foundation of modern programming languages, including C++, Java, C#, Visual Basic .NET, Ruby, and Objective-C. Objects also form the basis for many web technologies such as JavaScript, Python, and PHP.

It is of vital importance to learn the fundamental concepts of object orientation before starting to use object-oriented development environments. OOP promotes good design practices, code portability, and reuse–but it requires a shift in thinking to be fully understood. Programmers new to OOP should resist the temptation to jump directly into a particular programming language (such as Objective-C, VB .NET, C++, C# .NET, or Java) or a modeling language (such as UML), and instead first take the time to learn what author Matt Weisfeld calls “the object-oriented thought process.”

Written by a developer for developers who want to make the leap to object-oriented technologies, The Object-Oriented Thought Process provides a solutions-oriented approach to object-oriented programming. Readers will learn to understand the proper uses of inheritance and composition, the difference between aggregation and association, and the important distinction between interfaces and implementations.

While programming technologies have been changing and evolving over the years, object-oriented concepts remain a constant–no matter what the platform. This revised edition focuses on interoperability across programming technologies, whether you are using objects in traditional application design, in XML-based data transactions, in web page development, in mobile apps, or in any modern programming environment.

“Programmers who aim to create high quality software–as all programmers should–must learn the varied subtleties of the familiar yet not so familiar beasts called objects and classes. Doing so entails careful study of books such as Matt Weisfeld’s The Object-Oriented Thought Process.”

–Bill McCarty, author of Java Distributed Objects, and Object-Oriented Design in Java
