DESCRIPTION:
This textbook assumes no programming language experience. Additionally, the examples illustrate one or two major points; they do not contain so many features that students become lost following irrelevant and extraneous details.. The examples are business examples; they do not assume mathematical background beyond high school business math. An Object-Oriented Approach to Programming Logic and Design, Third Edition provides the beginning programmer with a guide to developing object-oriented program logic. The writing is nontechnical and emphasizes good programming practices
Joyce Farrell is really one of our favorites! (JoAnn Cooper, Hinds Community College - Rankin Campus)I'm looking forward to adopting the second edition as soon as it becomes available!(Peter van der Goes, Rose State College) . Thank you for allowing me to participate in this very important review process. I enjoy doing these reviews but especially for authors whose books we use
Joyce Farrell has authored several popular programming textbooks, including books on Programming Logic and Design, Java, C#, and C++. . A well-respected instructor, Ms. Farrell has taught Computer Information Systems at Harper College in Palatine, Illinois; the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point; and McHenry County College in Crystal Lake, Illinois. Her books are recognized for t
"Author is confused, and confuses her readers" according to Private1. This author is imprecise in her use of terminology. She switches between similar terms for the same thing without signaling. She uses the same term for different things without signaling. She even uses incorrect terms.The author tends to use a concept in a discussion and then, later, she introduces the concept formally to the reader. Sometimes she never introduces the concept, and youstruggle with the text before you realize that a new concept is involved and you must set about untangling the spaghetti on your own.On a positive note, the author makes good use of ana. Unorganized, very confusing for an already confusing topic I knew that this wouldn't be an easy class to take, but the previous review did a great job of describing this book's problems. In my opinion, it should be added that the chapters are unorganized. There are many errors in the book, including an error in the code on page 80 (which I confirmed with my instructor). If your school requires this book, make sure you buy an additional book (probably a Dummies book) or some other learning aid. The author did make good use of analogies, but that's about it.. Pointless - made to sell, not teach I had this book for a class on object oriented programming principles and practices. Before I took the course, I kept wondering which language would be used as I couldn't imagine learning OOP without programming. But sure enough, there were flaws with the course because it depended wholly on this textbook:1. No real programming. How can one learn OOP without programming? Seems dumb if you think about it, but that way, you can have a course open to students without any programming experience! That's how community college administrators think.2. Mind you, the tests, c
