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.

Can be used alone in a logic course or as a companion to a programming language text in an introductory language course
Introduces classes, objects, behaviors, and attributes very early on and includes chapters on other object-oriented topics such as inheritance and exception handling
Provides a complete class example in most chapters to demonstrate the application of topics learned
Chapters end with a Summary, Key Terms, Review Questions, Exercises, and a Case Project involving a hypothetical business
Translates easily to modern languages such as C#, C++, Java, and Visual Basic
