Object-Oriented Forth: Implementation of Data Structures

by Dick Pountain

Serious users of Forth will be aware of the critic's jibe that the language encourages "write-only" programming. Dick Pountain shows in this book how this description might soon become a systematic approach to building data structures can result in reusable, debugged and tested modules of code. Whether you are an enthusiastic amateur or a professional involved in new and complex instrument control, or whether you use a home computer or a large and powerful one, every Forth programmer and implementer should read this book.

This book is great for those who have read Leo Brodie's "Starting Forth" and are looking for more advanced stuff in Forth. The author provides straightforward examples of different data structures including linked lists, stacks, queues and other ADTs and also provides memory management techniques using heaps.
