Python Object-Oriented Programming
A comprehensive guide to exploring modern Python through data structures, design patterns, and effective object-oriented techniquesKey FeaturesBuild an intuitive understanding of object-oriented design, from introductory to mature programsLearn the ins and outs of Python syntax, libraries, and best practicesExamine a machine-learning case study at the end of each chapterBook DescriptionObject-oriented programming (OOP) is a popular design paradigm in which data and behaviors are encapsulated in such a way that they can be manipulated together. Python Object-Oriented Programming, Fourth Edition dives deep into the various aspects of OOP, Python as an OOP language, common and advanced design patterns, and hands-on data manipulation and testing of more complex OOP systems. These concepts are consolidated by open-ended exercises, as well as a real-world case study at the end of every chapter, newly written for this edition. All example code is now compatible with Python 3.9+ syntax and has been updated with type hints for ease of learning. Steven and Dusty provide a comprehensive, illustrative tour of important OOP concepts, such as inheritance, composition, and polymorphism, and explain how they work together with Python’s classes and data structures to facilitate good design. In addition, the book also features an in-depth look at Python’s exception handling and how functional programming intersects with OOP. Two very powerful automated testing systems, unittest and pytest, are introduced. The final chapter provides a detailed discussion of Python's concurrent programming ecosystem. By the end of the book, you will have a thorough understanding of how to think about and apply object-oriented principles using Python syntax and be able to confidently create robust and reliable programs.What you will learnImplement objects in Python by creating classes and defining methodsExtend class functionality using inheritanceUse exceptions to handle unusual situations cleanlyUnderstand when to use object-oriented features, and more importantly, when not to use themDiscover several widely used design patterns and how they are implemented in PythonUncover the simplicity of unit and integration testing and understand why they are so importantLearn to statically type check your dynamic codeUnderstand concurrency with asyncio and how it speeds up programsWho this book is forIf you are new to object-oriented programming techniques, or if you have basic Python skills and wish to learn how and when to correctly apply OOP principles in Python, this is the book for you.

Fundamentals of OOP and Data Structures in Java
Fundamentals of OOP and Data Structures in Java is a text for an introductory course on classical data structures. Part One of the book presents the basic principles of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and Graphical User Interface (GUI) programming with Java as the example language. Part Two introduces each of the major data structures with supporting, GUI-based laboratory programs designed to reinforce the basic concepts and principles of the text. These laboratories allow the reader to explore and experiment with the properties of each data structure. All source code for the laboratories is available on the web. By integrating the principles of OOP and GUI programming, this book takes the unique path of presenting the fundamental issues of data structures within the context of paradigms that are essential to today's professional software developer. The authors assume the reader has only an elementary understanding of Java and no experience with OOP.
