...This book brings together a careful selection of topics that are relevant, indeed crucial, for developing good quality software with a carefully designed pedagogy that leads the reader through an experience of active learning. The emphasis in the content is on practical goals-how to construct reliable and flexible software systems-covering many topics that every software engineer should have studied. The emphasis in the method is on providing a practical context, hands-on projects, and guidance on process. ... The text discusses not only what the end product should be like, but also how to get there. ... I know that this book will be a great help for many of my students on the path from a novice programmer to a mature, professional software developer. -From the Foreword by Michael Kolling, originator of the BlueJ and Greenfoot environments, co-author of the best-selling Objects First with Java, and author of the best-selling Introduction to Programming with Greenfoot
