Java Programming

Writing out instructions for solving a problem or performing a task
Analyze the problem
Develop a general solution for the problem
Write the solution in terms of objects and instructions the computer can work with

This is an approach to problem solving and implementation that focuses on the objects in the problem and the ways in which they interact. The goal is to develop the solution and the implementation in therms of small, easy to manage pieces.

The process of specifying objects and the ways in which those objects interact to solve a problem.

Information in a form that a computer can use

Any knowledge that can be communicated

A specification of the representation of a particular kind of object, in terms of data and operations

A collection of data values and associated operations. Objects have both a state and a behavior.

Instructions for solving a problem in a finite amount of time using a finite amount of data.

A class is like a factory, whereas the object is like the different TV's made in the factory.

A task that is named without saying how it is done.
