Computer Science Applications: Object Oriented Programming

Computer Science Applications: Object Oriented Programming is a comprehensive anthology of reference articles for first and second semester Computer Science courses. These articles, drawn from a wide variety of sources and experiences, include detailed discussions, explanations and examples that deliver an engaging learning experience for students. Using high-level concepts, rather than simply focusing on the syntax of Java, this text delivers a complete and in-depth coverage of all the essential topics typically found in the CS1 and CS2 syllabi.Computer Science Applications is divided into seven sections, each prefaced by an overview of the topic:

- Classes and Objects
- Inheritance and Polymorphism
- Problem Solving Before Programming
- Java Statements
- Exception and Exception Handling
- Data Structure and Algorithms
