Working with the Big Picture: Object-Oriented Programming

In this part . . .

Have you read or heard anything about object-oriented programming? Sometimes, all the object-oriented programmers seem to belong to a little club. They have a secret handshake, a secret sign, and a promise not to reveal object-oriented programming concepts to any outsiders. Well, the secrecy is ending. In this part, I take all the mystery out of object-oriented programming. I introduce the concepts step by step and illustrate each concept with a Java program or two.
