Introduction to Object Oriented Programming Concepts (OOP) and More

Introduction to Object Oriented Programming Concepts (OOP) and More
Recommended framework: Table of contents 1. Introduction I have noticed an increase in the number of articles published in the Architecture category in CodeProject during the last few months. One day I read an article that said that the richest two percent own half the world's wealth. Coming back to the initial point, I noticed that there is a knowledge gap, increasing every day, between architects who know how to architect a system properly and others who do not. 2. This article began after reading and hearing questions new developers have on the basics of software architecture. As I see it, newcomers will always struggle to understand the precise definition of a new concept, because it is always a new and hence unfamiliar idea. 3. This article is an effort to provide an accurate information pool for new developers on the basics of software architecture, focusing on Object Oriented Programming (OOP). 4. 4.1. 4.2. 4.3. OOP is a design philosophy. 1.

Home - Open.Source - everything ! FREE SOFTWARE !!! for Windows, Linux & Mac Object Oriented Programming Tutorial - Objects Objects are the central idea behind OOP. The idea is quite simple. An object is a bundle of variables and related methods. method is similar to a procedure; we'll come back to these later. The basic idea behind an object is that of simulation . methods associated with that object, in other words, functions that modify the objects attributes. A few examples should help explain this concept. Drink! Say we want to write a program about a pint of beer. TYPE BeerType = RECORD BeerName: STRING; VolumeInPints: REAL; Colour: ColourType; Proof: REAL; PintsNeededToGetYouDrunk: CARDINAL; ... Now lets say we want to initialise a pint of beer, and take a sip from it. VAR MyPint: BeerType; BEGIN ... (* Initialise (i.e. buy) a pint: *) MyPint.BeerName := "Harp"; MyPint.VolumeInPints := 1.00; ... ... (* Take a sip *) MyPint.VolumeInPints := MyPint.VolumeInPints - 0.1; ... We have constructed this entire model based entirely on data types A method is an operation which can modify an objects behaviour. .

Alice Programming Tutorial, by Richard G Baldwin Learn to Program using Alice Getting Started In this lesson, you will learn how to download, install, and test the Alice programming environment. You will also learn how to access the tutorials that are provided by the developers of Alice and how to run the example programs that are provided by those developers. Published: March 26, 2007Last updated: April 22, 2007By Richard G. Alice Programming Notes # 100 Preface First in a series This is the first lesson in a series of tutorial lessons designed to teach you how to program using the Alice programming environment under the assumption that you have no prior programming knowledge or experience. My objective in writing this series of lessons is to make it possible for people who have no previous programming experience to learn programming fundamentals using Alice. A lot of fun Because Alice is an interactive graphic 3D programming environment, it is not only useful for learning how to program, Alice makes learning to program fun. The bottom line

Learn HTML 5 in 3 days – Day 1 Introduction HTML 5 is one of the hot topic recent days. So I thought why don’t write a complete learning tutorial about same. It’s going to be a 2 days series article. Note: As a Microsoft guy whenever there is a need for server side technology I will be using C# and Asp.Net. What we won’t cover here? If you don’t know anything about HTML then this article is not for you. You can learn about basic HTML here. Agenda Introduction to HTML 5 Let’s first understand couple of basic and intriguing features about HTML unaware to most of the developers. What is difference between SGML, HTML and XML? What is difference between SGML, HTML and XML? SGML stands for Standard Globalized Markup language is the one used for defining standard markup languages. What is Doc type? When you try to create a HTML page using tools like Dreamweaver or Visual studio you will find following line at the top of the document always. Have you ever wondered what it is? How HTML 5 is different from previous versions? Number Range

What Is an Interface? (The Java™ Tutorials > Learning the Java Language > Object-Oriented Programming Concepts) As you've already learned, objects define their interaction with the outside world through the methods that they expose. Methods form the object's interface with the outside world; the buttons on the front of your television set, for example, are the interface between you and the electrical wiring on the other side of its plastic casing. You press the "power" button to turn the television on and off. In its most common form, an interface is a group of related methods with empty bodies. interface Bicycle { // wheel revolutions per minute void changeCadence(int newValue); void changeGear(int newValue); void speedUp(int increment); void applyBrakes(int decrement); } To implement this interface, the name of your class would change (to a particular brand of bicycle, for example, such as ACMEBicycle), and you'd use the implements keyword in the class declaration: Implementing an interface allows a class to become more formal about the behavior it promises to provide.

Indoor Autonomous Positioning SCP technology makes it possible to provide reliable, consistent, and accurate indoor positioning without the support of network infrastructure and services. By exploiting freely available signals including GPS, cellular, digital television, and wireless LAN (e.g. WiFi), SCP based Doppler Aided Inertial Navigation (DAIN) determines location through a sensor fusion approach. Combining inertial, magnetic, and gravity data with the SCP RF observables, DAIN provides continuous position, velocity, and direction information. A fundamental breakthrough in indoor positioning, SCP DAIN is ideal for emerging location enabled applications hosted on smart phone devices. DAIN is an ideal enabler for both consumer and commercial applications.

About this tutorial The two-part Introduction to Java programming tutorial is meant for software developers who are new to Java technology. Work through both parts to get up and running with object-oriented programming (OOP) and real-world application development using the Java language and platform. This first part is a step-by-step introduction to OOP using the Java language. Part 2 covers more-advanced language features, including regular expressions, generics, I/O, and serialization. Objectives When you finish Part 1, you'll be familiar with basic Java language syntax and able to write simple Java programs. Prerequisites This tutorial is for software developers who are not yet experienced with Java code or the Java platform. System requirements JDK 8 from OracleEclipse IDE for Java Developers Java platform overview The JVM or

Introduction — Problem Solving with Algorithms and Data Structures We stated earlier that Python is an object-oriented programming language. So far, we have used a number of built-in classes to show examples of data and control structures. One of the most powerful features in an object-oriented programming language is the ability to allow a programmer (problem solver) to create new classes that model data that is needed to solve the problem. Remember that we use abstract data types to provide the logical description of what a data object looks like (its state) and what it can do (its methods). A Fraction Class A very common example to show the details of implementing a user-defined class is to construct a class to implement the abstract data type Fraction. A fraction such as consists of two parts. The operations for the Fraction type will allow a Fraction data object to behave like any other numeric value. In Python, we define a new class by providing a name and a set of method definitions that are syntactically similar to function definitions.
