Object-oriented Software Design and Construction with C++

-- Java applets are used in three different ways to enhance the quality of the conceptual material. These applets are designed to create an engaging learning environment.-- The tools and practices that developers of software must cope with, testing, debugging, project planning and project management are introduced to the reader.-- The readers learn to utilize an object-oriented library for building GUI-based systems through exercises and projects. An introduction to event-driven systems gives readers insight into what happens when a program is driven by external events.This is the first interactive book on object-oriented programming in C++.This interactive approach provides overall support for object-oriented programming in C++. The focus is on C++, but the object-oriented concepts are language independent. The first chapter gives an introduction to the broad concepts of object-oriented programming, giving pointers to other programming languages. This broad introduction allows readers to become familiar with terms from different languages and analysis methods while they are learning the specifics of object-oriented C++ programming.
