An "Object-Oriented Approach to Programming Logic and Design", Second Edition is a language-independent introduction to programming logic using object-oriented principles. It introduces programming concepts and enforces good style and logical thinking. Joyce Farrell is well-known for her Programming Logic and Design book, which takes a procedural approach to programming. An "Object-Oriented Approach to Programming Logic and Design", Second Edition offers similar topical coverage and pedagogy, but it introduces the user to the world of object-oriented programming. Designed for a first course in programming, no programming experience is required and the text does not focus on any particular language.
