Soft covered book titled Understanding Object-Oriented Programming with JAVA by Timothy Budd, 1998, 367 pages.

This book teaches WHY the Java language works, as opposed to many other books that focus on HOW Java works.

This book is structured in five major sections:

• Part 1 is a general, language-independent introduction to the ideas that lie at the heart of the Java world.
• Part 2 introduces Java through several graduated example programs (paradigms, in the original sense of the word).
• Part 3 discusses inheritance, the next major object-oriented concept that you must master after learning about classes and objects.
• Part 4 discusses polymorphism, which ifs often an even subtler concept for a student to understand than inheritance.
• Part 5 discusses feature of the Java world that are important for you to understand, but not particularly notable for their object-oriented features.

Chapter include:

• OBJECT ORIENTED THINKING
• A BRIEF HISTORY OF OBJECT ORIENTED PROGRAMMING
