Explore the complexities of object-oriented programming (OOP)
Discover what OOP can do for you
Learn to use the key tools and software engineering practices to support your own programming needs

Book Description

Your experience and knowledge always influence the approach you take and the tools you use to write your programs. With a sound understanding of how to approach your goal and what software paradigms to use, you can create high-performing applications quickly and efficiently.

In this two-part book, you'll discover the untapped features of object-oriented programming and use it with other software tools to code fast and efficient applications. The first part of the book begins with a discussion on how OOP is used today and moves on to analyze the ideas and problems that OOP doesn't address. It continues by deconstructing the complexity of OOP, showing you its fundamentally simple core. You'll see that, by using the distinctive elements of OOP, you can learn to build your applications more easily.

The next part of this book talks about acquiring the skills to become a better programmer. You'll get an overview of how various tools, such as version control and build management, help make your life easier. This book also discusses the pros and cons of other programming paradigms, such as aspect-oriented programming and functional programming, and helps to select the correct approach for your projects. It ends by talking about the philosophy behind designing software and what it means to be a "good" developer.

By the end of this two-part book, you will have learned that OOP is not always complex, and you will know how you can evolve into a better programmer by learning about ethics, teamwork, and documentation.

What you will learn

Untangle the complexity of object-oriented programming by breaking it down to its essential building blocks
Realize the full potential of OOP to design efficient, maintainable programs
Utilize coding best practices, including TDD, pair programming and code reviews, to improve your work
Use tools, such as source control and IDEs, to work more efficiently
