Product Description

Product Description
The Eiffel programming language has won strong support from the OOP community as an alternative to C++, Smalltalk and other languages. This book gives a complete tutorial guide, emphasizing the role of abstract data types (ADTs) in software development. It is especially suited to courses where object-oriented techniques are introduced for programming-in-the-large. It shows how Eiffel's unique approach to programming by contact encourages the design of reusable software components. It also explores techniques for ensuring the correctness of programs. Highlights of the book include: *A strong emphasis on Eiffel's support for modern software engineering practice, including the development of abstract data types, reusable components, and correctness issues *Full coverage of advanced features including multiple inheritance, polymorphism, dynamic binding, and exception handling *Guidance on when to use inheritance and when to use the client-supplier relationship *A case study illustrating Eiffel's power and expressiveness 0201593874B04062001

1.0 out of 5 stars Why Do People Do These Things?, 11 Jan 2008
By Mr. Simon O'riordan "voluntary33" (Yorkshire England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Object-Oriented Programming in Eiffel (Addison-Wesley Eiffel in Practice Series) (Paperback)
I found this book at less than half the current asking price. It arrived very quickly.
Obviously the previous owner was all too happy to get rid of it.
This book is apparently written to turn aspiring professionals into little bean-counting clones who live in some kind of parallel universe.
It doesn't even have a 'Hello World!' project for crying out loud.
The code samples are very rare, uncommented and often incomplete.
The version of Eiffel it uses is hopelessly obsolete.
Any instructional value is lost in the utter inability of the authors to link knowledge to real tasks.
It really is that dreadful.
(PS-my first submission got rejected because I tried to give the book 0 stars).
