Programming with Objects – A Comparative Presentation of Object–Oriented Programming with C++ & Java : A Comparative Presentation of Object-Oriented Programming With C++ and Java

C++ is a general purpose programming language that, in addition to systems applications, is extensively used for scientific computation, financial applications, embedded systems, realtime control, and other applications. Java is an object oriented programming language with emphasis on supporting the software engineering of distributed systems.

PROGRAMMING WITH OBJECTS Your essential comparative approach to learning C++ and Java Programming with Objects: A Comparative Presentation of Object-Oriented Programming with C++ and Java, a comparative presentation of object-oriented programming with two of the most popular programming languages of today, teaches vital skills and techniques for the Internet age. Based on highly successful courses taught by the author, this book answers the need for a comprehensive educational program on the subject of object-oriented programming. In a clear and accessible format, the author compares and contrasts both languages, from basic language constructs to how both languages are used in application-level programming, such as graphics programming, network programming, and database programming. Since both C++ and Java were born out of the same language, C, learning these two languages together has several distinct advantages: Because they have much in common at the level of basic language structures, learning C++ and Java together saves time and facilitates the mastery of eachLearning by contrast and comparison can be more efficient and enjoyable, allowing readers access to the strengths and weaknesses of both languagesLearning to write a program in one language that corresponds to a given program in the other language enables students to tackle more difficult projects in either languageComparing similar concepts in the two languages leads to a deeper understanding of the concepts in bothRoughly the first half of the text is devoted to basic language issues. More advanced topics are detailed in the second half, including programming of graphical user interfaces, multithreading, network programming, and database programming. Designed as a text for educational programs in advanced programming and as a reference for professionals implementing Web- and Internet-based applications, Programming with Objects: A Comparative Presentation of Object-Oriented Programming with C++ and Java is also recommended for programmers familiar with either language who wish to expand their programming skills.
