Articoli correlati a Developing Java Software
This second edition of a Java primer, has seen an extensive restructuring and has been redesigned to present a more accessible text. The reader should find that the addition of small scale examples will aid understanding and increase motivation. The case studies provide larger scale realistic examples and a language reference section increases usage as a life long book.

Recensione:
"Java has the advantage of being platform agnostic, free, object–oriented and based on current best practice. Interestingly, the authors of Developing Java Software say they will teach you to develop software in Java starting with objects and working down to individual elements of the language rather than the more usual reverse approach. They don′t quite pull this off because, without some knowledge of operators, structures and syntax you can′t do anything at all with an object, however elegantly implemented. However, this approach does leave the authors with a goal–oriented approach, which works well.
In effect, they approach Java program development from the point of view of a working programmer, more interested in achieving an end than in the philosophical underpinnings of the means. However, this isn′t a Java cookbook, but rather more of a self–teach or course book. Each chapter is largely self contained and ends with a series of tasks, for some of which sample solutions can be found online. The main thrust of Developing Java Software is, if anything, creating well–documented, efficient and robust Java programs suitable for real world use. To this end it emphasises good style, error handling, defensive programming, testing, testing and testing.
Developing Java Software is particularly strong on programming with graphical interfaces. Almost all programs intended for end users must now work graphically with familiar GUI components. The authors demonstrate the GUI basics but go well beyond them into practical problems, such as graphing data, layout managers and even a simple text editor. Toward the end of the book the authors tackle a number of larger problems, including mail merge, a pedestrian crossing simulator (with author errors included as an object lesson––sic) and ants. The last is fun as well as informative. This well–designed book is a perfect place to start learning about Java for anyone confident enough to install the JDK. The only complaint is JDK2 doesn′t come with it.––", Steve Patient , , Amazon.co.uk#"Aimed at developers creating well–documented, efficient and robust Java programs for the real world, the authors of

Learn programming in Java from scratch – and keep on learning Developing Java Software The new edition of this excellent primer teaches how to program in an object–oriented style. Objects come first, providing a framework for understanding how Java programs work and how they can be designed, in an organised and systematic way. Programming is taught with a view to quality software engineering and is anchored in real–world issues, particularly testing. Examples and exercises provide motivation. Self–tests and class–project suggestions enhance this comprehensive Go, to, the support website at: http://www.dcs.kcl.ac.uk/DevJavaSoft/

Reviews of First Edition: ′If you want to learn to program this is an excellent book {and} if you are responsible for running a course on programming then this is a book that you should consider as a course text... Very much recommended.′ Francis Glassborrow ′A book suitable as a learning text or reference for professional programmers developing large scale applications and as a set teaching text for courses when one is concerned with more than Java programming... Highly recommended.′ Brian Bramer, CVU ′...provides a thorough curriculum – all in Java – from basic programming and core algorithms to software engineering issues; it will be a useful single reference for anyone wanting to program well.′ New Scientist 1998 ′The best part of the book is worked examples of medium–scale programs at the end in a case study section.′ A reader′s Posting on Amazon.Com Cover illustration: Paul Gaugin′s ′At the Bottom of the Mountain′.
