OO Algorithms Tutorial?
-
I know this is a silly thing to ask, but here it is. I have been working in development for about ten years now, I am pretty much a Google programmer in that I use the internet to find out what I need to fix code problems. I do not have any formal schooling. I have done fine building business applications, but now I want to move into a more corporate formal environment. I don't have the time to go to school to learn OO programming from scratch, nor do I really want to, but looking over questions other people have had from this company in interviews, I would just be clueless. I like to consider myself a practical programmer, the truth is, though, that I am just untrained. With that said, can anyone recommend a site where I can go to gather some of this information? I think I mostly need help with the data structures and algorithms, as they don't come into my daily work. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers, --EA

Since you've been in the industry for a while, I expect a couple of books on Data Structures + Algorithms and Design Patterns (in the language of your choice) should see you through. When I was a student, I used an earlier edition of Algorithms and Data Structures by Niklaus Wirth[^] (who I also met later - he's a great guy, very personable). For design patterns, it's hard to go wrong with the Gang of Four[^] book. /ravi

OO is not so much about algorithms, it is more about design. The "Gang of Four" patterns are a good point. I also like "Applying UML and Patterns" by Craig Larman: he brings patterns, UML, and agile strategies together and explains them with good examples.

Object-oriented (OO) algorithms can be tricky to master, especially when you're juggling multiple subjects or tasks. Understanding concepts like inheritance, encapsulation, and polymorphism takes time and focus. If you're feeling overwhelmed by coursework, services like
can help lighten the load. By entrusting experts with some of your academic responsibilities, you can dedicate more time to diving deep into complex topics like OO algorithms without the stress of falling behind in other areas. It’s a smart way to manage both your time and your studies effectively.
