From the book Thinking in Java:

Encapsulation creates new data types by combining characteristics and behaviors. Implementation hiding separates the interface from the implementation by making the details private. This sort of mechanical organization makes ready sense to someone with a procedural programming background. But polymorphism deals with decoupling in terms of types.

What does that exactly mean?

    makes sense immediately. They don't have to study or guess. The concepts, while perhaps new, will be understood without any effort. – Michael Dorgan Jun 15 '15 at 17:14
  • While understandable, I think it's an odd construction. The usage usually references something a bit more concrete, like "ready cash" (cash that is available quickly or on hand) and even "ready wit" (a quick wit). But "makes ready sense" is a bit too verbish for me here. Perhaps it's a matter of style. I would have just cut all the fluff and said, This is easily understood by someone with a procedural programming background. See COCA: ready *noun* for the common uses. – CoolHandLouis Jun 17 '15 at 0:35

Makes ready sense means something like is easily and quickly understood. In this context it means that someone with a procedural programming background will understand the organization immediately.

Ready in this sense means quick to understand, or in this case, quick to be understood.
