Program Development in Java: Abstraction, Specification, and Object-Oriented Design
Written by a world-renowned expert on programming methodology, and the winner of the 2008 Turing Award, this book shows how to build production-quality programs--programs that are reliable, easy to maintain, and quick to modify. Its emphasis is on modular program construction: how to get the modules right and how to organize a program as a collection of modules. The book p

This is a thoughtful book written by two leading researchers and academicians, Turing-award winner Barbara Liskov, whose previous work included the development of, what was for its time, an innovative programming language (CLU) which integrated data and operations into parametrizable clusters, and John Guttag, who at the time was a leading researcher into algebraic specifications of abstract data types.

This book focuses on the concept of the relationship between the software client and the service provider, and it's not the full fledged interfaced software that I'm talking about, rather the clients who use programs and code as an API to their own applications. Liskov addresses what should be done by the service providers as a contract between them and their clients in terms using the concept of abstraction properly and describing the what a module does not how it doe ...more
