Customer Reviews

Great Book on Learning OOP for Intermediate Programmers

Don't buy this book if you're a beginning programmer or need to learn the syntax. I suggest learning that from the web. Budd has a way of explaining OOP that made it much clearer now even after hearing it explained at least a dozen times to me. The examples are solid and not silly.

One of the good books for understanding OO concepts

Though Mr Budd's language is a little abstract but he has presented the ideas to understand Object Oriented Concepts very good. This book is not for starters rather persons having little knowledge of object orientation can benefit from it a lot. I think this book is not a basic rather intermediate level book for understanding object oriented programming. Overall this is a good book and must be kept for reference purposes.

A book to better understand object oriented programming

This is not a book to learn java from, nor is it even a good reference. Read and understand the title before buying this book.This review refers to the previous edition to this one. I found the text ordered well, with most examples clearly explained. There were some minor bugs in the code which a beginning java programmer would struggle with.After finishing the book, and running the examples, and working through several of the exercises, I found that I understand OOP much better, and of course understand java better too.I've noted several people who don't know java syntax are frustrated by the book, as they are expecting to learn java from it, and are never reaching the point where they will learn OOP or java from the book.In conclusion, don't buy the book to learn java, buy it only if you need to learn OOP and are having difficulty doing so.
