Java is an object-oriented programming (OOP) language relevant in our lives today because many of the applications we use are built with it. Java Parables Volume 1 is part of the book series called Java Parables. It is for readers from 9+ years old. This volume teaches Java in fun ways, thereby getting children interested in learning Java. The topics demonstrate that Java applies to most things we do and see around us. They contain beautiful images that are memorable and comparable to Java terms which make the analogies in the book more relatable and easy to understand. Readers will come to appreciate OOP and how the concepts: abstraction, encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism apply to real-life analogies. The knowledge acquired in this volume will lay the foundation for other topics that will be discussed in sequel books in this series. Learning Java is not an impossible task!
