Synopsis

Object oriented technology is just emerging from infancy, with a modest number of early adopters making use of it. This is a revision of an introductory book on object orientation that surveys the technology in a practical manner, with emphasis on examples, explanation and clarification of concepts. Much of the book's appeal lies in its ability to make the conceptual information understandable to any computer professional, at any level. The authors clarify basic concepts of object technology and provide a clear and comprehensive introduction to basic fundamentals. The text includes coverage of analysis and design, C++, abstract data typing, inheritance and identity, plus object orientated databases and graphical user interfaces.
