Hands-On Object-Oriented Programming

Learn how to easily design and implement a software system using object-oriented programming. Through hands-on activities, this book equips you with the real-world practice needed to master OOP skills that can be applied universally across any programming language.

This book is dedicated to bridging the gap between theoretical concepts and practical implementation in software development using OOP. Readers will first understand the importance of OOP in handling software complexities before learning how to model real-world problems through access control, extendible object design, and object relationships. Specifically, the author discusses how to use inheritance, association, and polymorphism concepts for implementing reusable and easy-to-use complex software. More importantly, this book covers design patterns and event-driven programming for learning how to model complex interactions among various objects of the software system to implement various use cases.

Unlike existing books on OOP which teach syntax and semantics through standard examples, this book leverages an immersive learning experience through a variety of real-world use cases, applications, games, and system software. While written in C++, the skills can be applied to any OOP language of the reader's preference. The book's last chapters will quickly introduce Python and Solidity languages for learning advanced technologies. By the end, novice and seasoned developers will know how to implement practical and reusable software systems with confidence.



What You Will Learn

Apply OOP concepts through real-time use cases: games, applications software (online shopping, reservations, etc.), system software (protocols, simulators, etc.), and modeling and implementation using C+ Design and implement reusable and extendible software with OOP Understand the importance of design patterns and learn how to use them for solving real-time issues Use event-driven programming for implementing complete interactions of complex application software, system software, and simulators Implement OOP using C++ features and discover Python and Solidity constructs for OOP

Who This Book Is For

Beginners and intermediate software developers with basic programming knowledge to quickly learn OOP concepts with C++. Advanced users will find it useful for quickly exploring best-design principles, patterns, and event-driven programming for implementing complex software systems.
