Object-Oriented Technologies

[liz jumari]

HI!!!! Just a ques.... where do i go if i wanna find out more about object oriented technologies???

[Dillinger4]

Not quite sure what you mean. Are you refering to Object
Oriented Programming?

[liz jumari]

that too.. but mostly theorical stuff e.g the advantanges and disadvantages of OOT and how OOT benefits a system development....

[Dillinger4]

Oh ok. Yes that is a good question. Sometimes i too would like to
learn more about the theory of design in general. I think that's what i liked most about COBOL. It forced you to concentrate on program design rather then getting caught up in technical aspect
of a programming language. But as we all know there is only so much you can do with COBOL.

hey liz,

sorry for getting back to you late. I had a hectic week and all. Well lets start with the websites:

Here are some of the websites that i came across while doing a search:
1) this has a good introduction on object oriented programming. It goes over the basics and concepts.
http://catalog.com/softinfo/objects.html

2)next site goes over the practical aspect of using object oriented programming(using java). It provides good amount of source code and etc(like vbsquare.com does:P)
http://softwaredev.earthweb.com/java

3) this is off the sun tutorial site:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/?frontpage-spotlight

4) this a forum similiar to Vbsquare.com:
http://planetsourcecode.com/PlanetSourceCode/

5) Here is a site that came across tonight. I haven't looked it at much:
http://javaboutique.internet.com/tutorials/

This will get u started on the websites. I will get you more info on the books at another time. Hopefully before u can go through the websites.

hey liz,


Here are few more sites i came across....

http://www.geocities.com/lkp550/JAVAHUT.htm
basic understanding of java and object-oriented programming. Lessons 3, 4, 11, 12, and 13 are important to grasp. It gives a better understanding of object-oriented stuff.

But to get a better understanding of java, you would need to go past java and utilize other resources that use java. For example,

Enterprise JavaBeans(EJB) which builds upon java. It is entire business solution that can be done with use of various application tools(i.e. BEA WebLogic Appliction server - 90 percent of industry that uses EJB components use Weblogic).
JavaserverPages(JSP), Java DataBase Connectivity(JDBC), and Servlets are just as important to pick up.

The Thing with java that sets it apart from c++ is that primarily u would use it for different things. C++ is geared for systemside programming while java is more for application development(it is killer for web based technology).

Here are other sites(gives an understanding object oriented programmer other than straight java):

http://www.ejbtut.com/

http://www.jsptut.com/

http://www.jspin.com/
-very good site

http://www.servletsource.com/

http://www.archive.coreservlets.com/

These are some of the sites...i have come across...but books lets see...

alot of ppl like bruce eckrel's book on "Thinking in Java"
I found this book really hard to understand. It does go over on object oriented programming(more theory than anything else).

i picked up a theory book on java last yr. Alot of my friends and I agree it is a good book..
Object-Oriented Software Development using Java by Xiaoping jia...
it is a really good book.

The books i recommend learning java from a design aspect...
Core java I and II by cay s. Horstmann and gary cornell...it goes over everything basic as well as advanced topics:)

I think this is enough for now:). Hope it helps:)...
