Queen Ugolo’s Carriage Plan (Classes and Objects)
Java Parables, Book 1: Queen Ugolo's Carriage Plan
Digital edition: two ebooks and a printable PDF
A festival is coming to the kingdom of Abacha, and Queen Ugolo wants every family to be there. But some families live far away, and there aren't enough carriages to bring them.
So Emmanuel the carriage builder and his clever apprentice, Joy, draw up a plan. With one good plan, they can build more than one carriage. But on festival morning, a family of six is waiting at the last house, and the blue carriage only has four seats…
In a second adventure, the Queen's children take on a royal cake-decorating challenge, with three cakes made from one recipe.
Through these two colourful stories, children aged 8 to 11 discover two of the biggest ideas in programming: classes and objects. A class is like a plan or a recipe, and objects are the separate things made from it, each with its own details.
