New Book Features Eiffel

Prof. Jean-Paul Tremblay from the University of Saskatchewan is one of the most successful textbook authors in computer science, with many best-sellers to his credit. For the past several years he and his colleagues have been teaching Eiffel en masse to introduce the U of S entering students to software development. The latest result is an impressive textbook, co-authored with Grant Cheston, a milestone in computer science education. "Data Structures and Software Development in an Object- Oriented Domain, Eiffel Edition" is a textbook designed for undergraduate computer science students. It provides an introduction to data structures using object-oriented analysis and design. The included CD-ROM contains an Eiffel compiler and development environment, with several other tools for use with the text. For more information, please see the amazon.com review


The Complete .NET Video Course
