|
A concise and incisive presentation of the
business side of object technology. Meant specifically for
managers, the book focuses on the practical issues
facing any company that plans to use Object-Oriented Methods
to reengineer its software process. Provocative and irreverent,
it bypasses hype and ObjectSpeak and respects no sacred cow in
its drive to provide managers with concrete, no-nonsense tips
on how to get the full benefits of the method.

"An Object-Oriented Environment: Principles and Application", Bertrand Meyer
|
|
This book explains what it means for an environment to be
truly object-oriented, not just by having a modern user
interface but by applying to its full extent the concept
of data abstraction. It shows the application of these concepts
to the Eiffel graphical development environment, available
on most major industry platforms.

"Windows Programming Made Easy", Glenn Maughan and Raphael Simon
|
|
Windows Programming Made Easy is
the latest entry in Bertrand Meyer's Prentice Hall Object and Component
Technology Series. This book covers the basics of Windows Programming
in Eiffel and provides a complete reference to the Windows Eiffel Library (WEL).
It includes numerous examples that cover the key concepts of the library.
The accompanying CD includes more than 80 examples as well as an evaluation
copy of EiffelBench 4.5. WPME includes all the Windows programming principles
required to program with Eiffel on Windows. It is self-sufficient and does
not require any prior knowledge of the Windows APIs.

"Objects Unencapsulated Java, Eiffel and C++?", Ian Joyner
|
|
By analyzing and comparing three different object-oriented languages,
Objects Unencapsulated probes the core of object
technology to examine how various language features
affect software productivity. Objects Unencapsulated
examines and compares the strengths and weaknesses of
Java, Eiffel, and C++. Topics covered include:
Objects, classes, modules, and types.;
Features and interfaces;
Inheritance and genericity;
Concurrency and garbage collection.
Grounded by his belief that true innovation demands
constant re-evaluation, Ian Joyner strips away the
superficial distinctions between these languages to
find the essence of object-oriented programming. He
explains the facts behind the many controversies that
an object-oriented practitioner constantly faces.
Ian Joyner is a member of the Object Technology Group
at the Microsoft Research Institute at Macquarie
University in Australia. He has been practicing
and critiquing object-oriented software since 1979.

"Compiling for the .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR)", John Gough
|
|
Compiling for the .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR) is the first book to give software engineers all the details and guidance they need to create full-featured .NET compilers or implement programming languages for the .NET environment. Renowned compiler expert John Gough presents an unprecedented "under the hood" inspection of Microsoft's .NET CLR, illuminating the key concepts underlying Microsoft's new technology and demonstrating exactly how CLR maximizes interoperability across multiple programming languages. The book uses a running example to illustrate its key points (Gough's own open source Gardens Point Component Pascal compiler) which can be used as a basis for sophisticated experimentation.
