Data-Oriented Programming in Java Chris Kiehl

Writing Java code can get complicated and hard to manage. When code is not clear, it becomes difficult to test and can cause bugs. A better way is to write code that explains itself and helps prevent mistakes from the start.

This book teaches you how to write programs that are easier to grow, test and maintain. It shows you how to use the data in your project to build your code in a clear and simple way.  Organise your information clearly using modern Java features.  Use simple data to make your code’s behaviour easy to follow.  Write code in a way that makes certain mistakes impossible.  Let your data’s structure guide you as you write your code.  Stop worrying about common errors like Null Pointer Exceptions.  Data-Oriented  Programming in Java is a practical guide to writing strong and stable programs. The book shows you how to use Java’s own rules to make your code simpler and more dependable.

Every idea is explained with a hands-on example.  After reading this book, you will be able to build large programs that are built around the data they use. Your code will be easier to read and manage, with fewer bugs. This book is for Java programmers with some experience who want to build better and more reliable software.
