In each chapter a program particularly illustrative of the chapters themes is presented and then analyzed by dissection, Ira Pohls trademark code presentation technique which illustrates the

Traditional and Object-Oriented Programming Java by Dissection begins by explaining how all the basic data types and control statements are used traditionally, and then progresses to the object-oriented features of the Java language and their importance to program design. This gradual introduction to OOP ensures that novices attain an understanding of programming basics before moving onto Javas object-oriented features.
