A Modern Approach to Functional Programming
Objects First with Java: A Practical Introduction is
an introduction to object-oriented programming for beginners. The main
focus of the book is general object-oriented and programming concepts
from a software engineering perspective.
The
first chapters are written for readers with no programming experience
with later chapters being more suitable for advanced or professional
programmers. The Java programming language and BlueJ—the Java
development environment — are the two tools used throughout the book. BlueJ's
clear visualization of classes and objects means that readers can
immediately appreciate the differences between them and gain a much
better understanding of the nature of an object than they would from
simply reading source code. Unlike traditional textbooks, the chapters
are not ordered by language features but by software development
concepts.
The Sixth Edition goes
beyond just adding the new language constructs of Java 8. The book’s
exploration of this new language demonstrates a renaissance of
functional ideas in modern programming. While functional programming
isn’t new in principle, it’s seen a boost in popularity based on the
current computer hardware available and the changing nature of projects
programmers wish to tackle. Functional language constructs make it
possible to efficiently automate currency, make use of multiple cores
without much effort on the side of the programmer, are both more elegant
and readable, and offer great potential in solving the issue of
parallel hardware. Functional programming has become an essential part
of the field, and Objects First with Java gives students a basic understanding of an area they’ll need to master in order to succeed in the future.
