Among Java's many attractive features as a programming language, its object-oriented nature is key to creating powerful, reusable code and applications that are easy to maintain and extend. To take advantage of these capabilities, you're going to need not only to master the syntax of the Java language, but also to gain a practical understanding of what objects are all about. Most importantly, you need to know how to structure Java applications from the ground up to make the most of objects. With Beginning Java Objects: From Concepts to Code , you'll master all three.

Learning to design objects effectively with Java is the goal of Beginning Java Objects: From Concepts to Code. Plenty of titles dig into the Java language in massive detail, but this one takes the unique approach of stepping back and looking at fundamental object concepts first. Mastery of Java—from understanding the basic language features to building complete industrial-strength Java applications—emerges only after a thorough tour of thinking in objects. Let this book be your guide.
