This helps students to adopt the object-oriented paradigm at an early stage and encourages them to focus on the application structure before beginning coding. More recently, many educators have been promoting the notion of teaching about classes and objects first. The most common approach has been to teach those constructs required for imperative programming first and to introduce the notion of classes and objects somewhat later in the course. My course syllabi using this book can be linked to from this main page.Object-oriented languages have been taught for some time at universities.
This is quite accessible with Chapter Four, but independent of my textbook. Learn to write applications using buttons and textfields during the early part of the course. The object-oriented webpages can be covered much earlier than his numbering indicates.

Click that option, then choose the folder on your hard drive where you want to save the PDF or HTM file. This should give you a menu that allows you to choose "SaveLinkAs." (in Netscape) or "SaveTargetAs." (in IE). Alternative: Put your mouse cursor on a link below (such as the one that says "Chapter 1") and right-click the mouse. except that some browsers disable this for PDF files. The second link ("listings") is the source code for the program listings, in a form from which you can copy-and-paste (but not into a Word document, since it loses indents and line breaks Notepad is okay, though).ĭOWNLOADING: When viewing a file with a browser, you can click File/SaveAs.
