This book is all about the essentials of Object-Oriented Programming, through the Java programming language. We want you to finish this book, not with an encyclopedic knowledge of OOP and Java, but with a clear understanding of what this OOP thing is, and how it is used to develop great software. Java is the language used here, but the concepts of a good OOP brew are applicable to many other computer programming languages, in which there is support for OOP.
