Good for what it tries to do but... The book is a very good exploration of the perspective it starts from - which is basically that objects are state machines (known as entity life histories in SSADM). It shows how a reusable method is found where two or more events have the same effect, at the same state, in a state machine. And its (partly automated) derivation of event-oriented procedures from object-oriented state machines is remarkable. However, a weakness is that the discussion is all about method bodies rather than interfaces. And the authors are not enthusiastic about inheritance or polymorphism. | ||
