Programming with Objects: A Comparative Presentation of Object Oriented Programming with C++ and Java

Your essential comparative approach to learning C++ and JavaProgramming with Objects: A Comparative Presentation ofObject-Oriented Programming with C++ and Java, a comparativepresentation of object-oriented programming with two of the mostpopular programming languages of today, teaches vital skills andtechniques for the Internet age. Based on highly successful coursestaught by the author, this book answers the need for acomprehensive educational program on the subject of object-orientedprogramming. In a clear and accessible format, the author comparesand contrasts both languages, from basic language constructs to howboth languages are used in application-level programming, such asgraphics programming, network programming, and databaseprogramming.Since both C++ and Java were born out of the same language, C,learning these two languages together has several distinctadvantages:* Because they have much in common at the level of basic languagestructures, learning C++ and Java together saves time andfacilitates the mastery of each* Learning by contrast and comparison can be more efficient andenjoyable, allowing readers access to the strengths and weaknessesof both languages* Learning to write a program in one language that corresponds to agiven program in the other language enables students to tackle moredifficult projects in either language* Comparing similar concepts in the two languages leads to a deeperunderstanding of the concepts in bothRoughly the first half of the text is devoted to basic languageissues. More advanced topics are detailed in the second half,including programming of graphical user interfaces, multithreading,network programming, and database programming.Designed as a text for educational programs in advanced programmingand as a reference for professionals implementing Web- andInternet-based applications, Programming with Objects: AComparative Presentation of Object-Oriented Programming with C++and Java is also recommended for programmers familiar with eitherlanguage who wish to expand their programming skills.
