This book constitutes the strictly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the 12th International Workshop on Algebraic Development Techniques, WADT '98, held in Tarquinia, Italy, in June 1997.This book presents, besides three invited surveys, 21 carefully revised full papers selected from 40 presentations given at the workshop. The algebraic approach to the specification and development of systems, born as a formal method for abstract data types, encompases today the formal design of integrated hardware and software systems, new specification frameworks and a wide range of applications. This book presents the state-of-the-art in the area of algebraic software development.

This textbook is intended for the novice as well as for the experienced programmer who wants to learn more about object-oriented programming. There are three main topics covered in this book. First, it contains a comprehensive introduction to the principles of OOP. Second, it describes prototypes as a vehicle for the construction of object-oriented programs and third, it introduces the new programming language Omega. Omega has been developed by the author as a type-safe object-oriented language and is targeted at easy, safe and efficient software construction. The reader is expected to have sufficient experience with structured and modular programming, as these techniques constitute the foundation on which the object-oriented principles are based.

Java by Example presumes no previous experience with either Java or programming in general. You will learn Java-specific programming concepts, object-oriented programming, and proper coding techniques. Topics include Java Foundation Classes (JFC), Abstract Windowing Toolkit, Applets vs Applications, and Multi-Threading. At the end of the book, you build a useful contact manager, applying concepts learned throughout the book.
