Object Oriented Programming for Scientific Computing

OOP Lecture note (java)

This long lecture note on Java gives an introduction to object-oriented programming concepts using the Java Programming Language. Starting from the very basics of Java and how to set up the environment, to basic syntax and data types, the note then covers the necessary operators, control structures, decision-making constructs, and goes further to give a comprehensive string handling. This resource outlines some of the fundamental object-oriented principles, such as classes, objects, methods, and modifiers, while also covering more advanced topics like inheritance, polymorphism, abstraction, and encapsulation. It further elaborates on packages, interfaces, input/output operations, exception handling, and multithreading. The note, therefore, with its broad scope and practical examples, is intended for use by students and professionals who would like to learn the OOP capabilities of Java and how to apply them.

A First Course in Object Oriented Development

This is a PDF tutorial that gives an overview of OOD but shifts the focus onto Java as the main language used. The tutorial covers everything from very basic aspects in Java to a more interesting, comprehensive case study on which the concepts of OOD are really put into practical application. Aspects of the book include but are not limited to: analysis, design, and programming of course, but also the essential parts of testing and exception handling. Advanced aspects of OOD such as polymorphism, design patterns, and inheritance are also covered. We will also look into inner classes, one of the special features in Java. The resource is a good guide for both novices and intermediate learners for the view of object-oriented development principles and how to apply them in Java.
