Object-Oriented Software Design and Construction With Java: Web Enhanced

Features:

• Integrates a consistent global reference against which readers can measure their progress, while understanding which language features support each role/goal
• Shows examples that demonstrate the power and utility of language in a realistic context based on graphical user interfaces and ecological simulation
• Furnishes a Companion Website (prenhall.com/kafura) that includes the complete online text viewable through standard browsers, PowerPoint slides, and an Online Study Guide
• Focuses on the basic principles of good object-oriented design rather than the syntax and details of the Java language
• Provides readers with proficiency through step-by-step guidance in using commonly available tools and techniques for constructing complex systems
• Illustrates key concepts visually through animated simulations or interactive components that are implemented as Java applets requiring only a standard browser
• Provides a simple, visual programming environment for early problems
• Based on Java 2 from Sun Microsystems
• Presents a stand-alone chapter of the latest Swing components for building graphical user interfaces
