Learning to design objects effectively with Java is the goal of Beginning Java Objects: From Concepts to Code, Second Edition. Plenty of titles dig into the Java language in massive detail, but this one takes the unique approach of stepping back and looking at fundamental object concepts first. Mastery of Java—from understanding the basic language features to building complete industrial-strength Java applications—emerges only after a thorough tour of thinking in objects.

The first edition of Beginning Java Objects has been a bestseller; this second edition includes material on the key features of J2SE 5, conceptual introductions to JDBC and J2EE, and an in-depth treatment of the critical design principles of model-data layer separation and model-view separation.

Despite the plethora of beginning Java titles on the market, this book is truly unique in its coverage of three critical topic—sobject concepts, UML modeling, and Java programming—within a single cover. It''s ideal for both individual self-study and as a university-level textbook. Let Beginning Java Objects, Second Edition be your guide!

* Based on the Java classic from Jacquie Barker - and now being translated to C# by the recognized polymath in Java and C#, Grant Palmer.

* First book to target C# Object Oriented Programming specifically

* First book to target the trending C# adoption in Academic where OO is so important

Appeals to both C# programmers wanting to learn OO, and learner programmers in academic courses learning C# through the principles of OO

Among Java''s many attractive features as a programming language, its object-oriented nature is key to creating powerful, reusable code and applications that are easy to maintain and extend. To take advantage of these capabilities, you''re going to need not only to master the syntax of the Java language, but also to gain a practical understanding of what objects are all about. Most importantly, you need to know how to structure Java applications from the ground up to make the most of objects. With Beginning Java Objects: From Concepts to Code, you''ll master all three.

As a programming language, Java''s object-oriented nature is key to creating powerful, reusable code and applications that are easy to maintain and extend. That being said, many people learn Java syntax without truly understanding its object-oriented roots, setting them up to fail to harness all of the power of Java. This book is your key to learning both!

This new third edition of Beginning Java Objects: From Concepts to Code discusses Java syntax, object principles, and how to properly structure the requirements of an application around an object architecture. It is unique in that it uses a single case study of a Student Registration System throughout the book, carrying the reader from object concepts, to object modeling, to building actual code for a full-blown application. A new chapter covers a technology-neutral discussion of the principles of building a three-tier architecture using Java, introducing the notion of model layer – presentation layer – data layer separation.

Coding examples used throughout the book are Java version-neutral. The core object-oriented principles that you will learn from this book are timeless, and are relevant to all versions of the Java language, as well as to many other object-oriented languages.  

The book can be used for individual self-study or as a university-level textbook.
