An overview of computers and logic -- Object-oriented programming concepts -- Using methods and parameters -- Understanding structure -- Making decisions -- Looping -- Arrays -- Advanced array concepts -- Event-driven-programming with graphical user interfaces -- Modeling with UML -- Object concepts: polymorphism and inheritance -- Exception handling -- Appendix A: solving difficult structuring problems -- Appendix B: understanding numbering systems and computer codes -- Appendix C: using a large decision table.

Joyce Farrell has taken the proven pedagogy from her structural, traditional text (Programming Logic and Design, now in its third edition) and applied an object-oriented approach for introductory programming students. This text introduces Classes, Objects, Behaviors, and Attributes very early on. It also includes chapters on other object-oriented topics such as inheritance and exception handling.
