Meyer opens with coverage of the need for an object-oriented approach to software development, citing improved quality and development speed as key advantages of the approach. He then explains all the key criteria that define an object- oriented approach to a problem. Meyer pays attention to techniques, such as classes, objects, memory management, and more, returning to each technique and polishing his readers' knowledge of it as he explains how to employ it "well." In a section on advanced topics, Meyer explores interesting and relevant topics, such as persistent objects stored in a database. He also offers a sort of "Do and Don't" section in which he enumerates common mistakes and ways to avoid them. Management information isn't the main point of Object-Oriented Software Construction, but you'll find some in its pages. Meyer concludes his tour de force with comparisons of all the key object-oriented languages, including Java. He also covers the potential of simulating object technology in non-object-oriented languages, such as Pascal and Fortran. The companion CD-ROM includes the full text of this book in hypertext form, as well as some tools for designing object-oriented systems. If you program computers, you need to read this book.]]> 170931 4.00 13 1 2000 1563788 0132479257 9780132479257 0 <![CDATA[Eiffel : The Language (Prentice Hall Object-Oriented Series)]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1185261511m/1563788.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1185261511s/1563788.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1563788.Eiffel_The_Language 3.00 2 170931 4.00 13 1 1991 2528400 0132454998 9780132454995 0 <![CDATA[Reusable Software : The Base Object-Oriented Component Libraries (Prentice Hall Object-Oriented Series)]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2528400.Reusable_Software_The_Base_Object_Oriented_Component_Libraries 3.00 1 170931 4.00 13 1 1994 6677013 3540921443 9783540921448 0 <![CDATA[Touch of Class: Learning to Program Well with Objects and Contracts]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/books/66/13/6677013-m-1256152257.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/books/66/13/6677013-s-1256152257.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6677013-touch-of-class 0.0 0 From object technology pioneer and ETH Zurich professor Bertrand Meyer, winner of the Jolt award and the ACM Software System Award, a revolutionary textbook that makes learning programming fun and rewarding. Meyer builds his presentation on a rich object-oriented software system supporting graphics and multimedia, which students can use to produce impressive applications from day one, then understand inside out as they learn new programming techniques.

Unique to Touch of Class is a combination of a practical, hands-on approach to programming with the introduction of sound theoretical support focused on helping students learn the construction of high quality software. The use of full color brings exciting programming concepts to life.

Among the useful features of the book is the use of Design by Contract, critical to software quality and providing a gentle introduction to formal methods.

Will give students a major advantage by teaching professional-level techniques in a literate, relaxed and humorous way.

This was a historic event gathering many top international experts on systematic methods for specifying, building and verifying high-quality software.

The book includes 32 revised full papers and 27 revised position papers, preceded by a general introduction to the area, which also presents the vision of a grand challenge project: the "verifying compiler". Most contributions are followed by a transcription of the vivid discussion that ensued between the author and the audience. The papers have been organized in topical sections on verification tools, guaranteeing correctness, software engineering aspects, verifying object-oriented programming, programming language and methodology aspects, components, static analysis, design, analysis and tools, as well as formal techniques.
