Towards an Overview Map of Object-Oriented Programming and Design

Aiming to detect the interdependences between the definitions of important concepts of object-oriented programming and design, we are analyzing several textbooks that were suggested for the introductory programming courses at several prominent universities. We started with the extraction of sentences that contain the relevant concepts and built a map that represents the interdependences between these concepts that are suggested by their definitions according to these textbooks. In this paper we present the methodology and the first results.     «
