The book provides an introduction to the principles of object-oriented technology. It discusses the steps to be taken in conducting object-oriented technology and in conducting object-oriented analysis: Identifying objects, structures, subjects, and defining attributes and services. The 2/E reflects a major update, incorporating all the major changes that have impacted on this technology during the last eighteen months.

Introduces programmers to OOP with Turbo C++. After describing OOP and the differences between Turbo C and Turbo C++ (OOP C), it puts Turbo C++ to work applying object-oriented programming to numerous programming cases.

This guide covers the underlying philosophy of object orientation and demonstrates its practical usage, exploring both the analysis and the design phases of applying object oriented techniques. Working from a solid foundation for specification and implementation, the handbook suggests an innovative approach which does not model reality-rather one that models the way reality is understood by people (not computers).

PH's best-selling text in object-oriented technologies for university courses. A language independent graphical notation is presented with object oriented concepts in order to analyze problem requirements, design a solution, and then implement the solution in a programming language or database. Appropriate for Sr-Grad courses in Object Oriented Programming. First book that focuses on the design aspect of Object Oriented Programming Field.

This textbook is intended for the novice as well as for the experienced programmer who wants to learn more about object-oriented programming. There are three main topics covered in this book. First, it contains a comprehensive introduction to the principles of OOP. Second, it describes prototypes as a vehicle for the construction of object-oriented programs and third, it introduces the new programming language Omega. Omega has been developed by the author as a type-safe object-oriented language and is targeted as easy, safe and efficient software construction.

The complete, up-to-date guide to Common LISP and its applications. Includes extensive LISP program examples in many areas, such as text formatting and spelling correction. Introduces generic functions and class inheritance in Common LISP. Explains how to get a public domain copy.

This timely, authoritative and in-depth analysis of object oriented analysis and design provides system developers with a formally-based foundation for generating both better code and better business processes. Learn how to use object-orientation in its broadest sense, as an organization and development philosophy for creating better business process solutions.

This indispensable survival guide is packed with project management methods, providing a systematic approach to software development for initial planning to the final product. Contains in-depth information on avoiding numerous common software development problems, includes newly updated IEEE standards, an overview of ISO standards.
