Product Description Eiffel, one of three object-oriented programming languages after C++ and Smalltalk, is user-friendly, consistent, and relatively easy to learn. In this book, Eiffel is used to introduce the basic principles of computer science from an object-oriented perspective. Introduces the idea of "modeling" first, and then "programming" as only one part of the overall process; details the object-oriented approach to problem solving; covers the construction of Eiffel classes; explains polymorphism as a design principle. For software development professionals new to object technology and Eiffel. | ||

Great introduction into Eiffel This book serves as an introduction to object orientation and the language Eiffel. As an introduction to OO, it does an okay job. There are better books on this subject, but there are a lot more books that are worse. As an introduction to Eiffel, this book is great. I tried learning eiffel from both Eiffel: the language, which is a reference guide, and Object Oriented Software Construction, which is avery academic text. This book takes you through the basics of OO and after that takes you through the basics of Eiffel. Once I finished this book, I had both a very good idea what the power of Eiffel is, how to use it and I was able to write real programs. (I do recommend Eiffel: The Language as a reference guide for programming real world applications). | ||
