From the Back Cover:

This hands-on-guide-written by one of the most successful authors in programming-makes design patterns and principles accessible to everyone! Drawing from his extensive experience as a programmer, consultant and teacher, Horstmann introduces object-oriented design principles, and gives you a roadmap for applying these principles and techniques in your own designs.

• Each topic is illustrated with a high-interest example that introduces you to user interface programming and the full range of Java language features. As you build your programming skills, you will also learn good design practice.
• This book uses Java as its implementation language, and also covers additional OOD strat egies that are available in C++ and other object-oriented languages.
• The book includes a crash course in Java, covering all the basic language constructs for anyone not familiar with the language.
• Horstmann integrates the latest and most effective tools such as BlueJ, javadoc, and JUnit, as well as other experimental tools.
• The Capstone chapter introduces design principles and shows you how to create an easy-to-use UML diagram editor.
• The guide will reach you important skills, including:
  - using UML for modeling
  - unit testing and programming by contract
  - programming GUI applications
  - understanding classical design patterns
  - using and designing frameworks
