本書(shū)主要從軟件工程的角度介紹面向?qū)ο蠛统绦蛟O(shè)計(jì)的基本概念，側(cè)重于講解面向?qū)ο蟪绦蛟O(shè)計(jì)原理，而不是Java語(yǔ)言細(xì)節(jié)。書(shū)中從面向?qū)ο蟮幕A(chǔ)知識(shí)講起，介紹了對(duì)象和類；然后深入到應(yīng)用結(jié)構(gòu)，講解了繼承、抽象技術(shù)、構(gòu)建圖形用戶界面、錯(cuò)誤處理；最后給出了一個(gè)完整的案例。書(shū)中使用兩個(gè)工具實(shí)際運(yùn)用所介紹的概念：Java編程語(yǔ)言以及Java編程環(huán)境BlueJ。全書(shū)按照項(xiàng)目驅(qū)動(dòng)的方式來(lái)展開(kāi)，討論了大量的程序項(xiàng)目，并且提供了很多練習(xí)。
本書(shū)內(nèi)容由淺入深，適合初學(xué)者快速入門，也適合高級(jí)程序員和專業(yè)人士學(xué)習(xí)參考，可作為計(jì)算機(jī)相關(guān)專業(yè)“面向?qū)ο蟪绦蛟O(shè)計(jì)”課程的教材。
David J.Barnes，任教于英國(guó)肯特大學(xué)，有超過(guò)25年的程序設(shè)計(jì)教學(xué)經(jīng)驗(yàn)，主要研究興趣是程序設(shè)計(jì)、軟件測(cè)試、計(jì)算機(jī)科學(xué)教學(xué)。
