CD-ROM INSTRUCTIONS
CD-ROM contents
The CD-ROM contains a
readme.txt
file (with the text of the present page) and three directories:
•
OOSC-2:
The complete hyperlinked version of the book "Object-Oriented Software Construction,
second edition", plus supplementary material, in Adobe Acrobat format,
•
Envir:
A time-limited version of principal components of the object-oriented environment
described in chapter 36 of the book.
•
Acrobat:
the Acrobat Reader installation for many platforms, from Adobe Inc.
Using the CD-ROM version of the book
To work with the hyperlinked version of the book you may start from any of the following Adobe Acrobat
files, all in the directory
OOSC-2:
• The short table of contents (chapters only): file
OOSC-SHO.pdf.
• The full table of contents (chapters only): file
OOSC-TAB.pdf.
• The index: file
OOSC-IND.pdf.
(From the file
README.PDF,
click the chosen file name above to open it under Acrobat Reader.)
Installing the Adobe Acrobat Reader
To read the files you will need to have the Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you do not already have the Reader on
your computer, you may install it from the CD-ROM:
• Go to the directory
Acrobat,
which contains the versions for different platforms (from Adobe Inc.).
• Read the file
Platform
to find the instructions and files for your platform.
• Perform the installation instructions as indicated.
• Make sure to read the file
License.pdf
which states the license terms.
Installing and using the object-oriented development environment
To install the object-oriented development environment for Windows NT or Windows 95:
• Go to the directory
Envir.
• Double-click on
setup.exe
(from the Windows Explorer) to start the installation process.
Memory and system requirements
• For Adobe Acrobat: see the Adobe Acrobat documentation. On Windows 95 the executable takes up
about
3 MB,
but more may be needed during installation.
• For the hyperlinked version of the book: about
25 MB;
Adobe Acrobat Reader installed.
• For the object-oriented environment: the recommended installation, including the WEL graphical
library and the Base libraries of fundamental data structures and algorithms, takes up about
70 MB.
A minimal default installation with no precompiled libraries (you can precompile libraries later
yourself) takes about
20 MB.
You need a 386 or higher Intel-compatible model, 16 MB memory (32
MB recommended).
The following page reproduces the text of the book’s back cover.
Bertrand Meyer’s
Object-Oriented Software Construction
SECOND EDITION
The definitive reference on the most important new technology in software
FROM THE REVIEWS OF THE FIRST EDITION:
“Tour
de Force…
Meyer succeeds admirably in leading the patient reader
…
through a presentation of the
fundamental software development issues that is independent of any programming system, language or
application area… Well organized and highly readable… Meyer’s high standards for precision of expression
do not interfere with a literate style or preclude the occasional injection of humor.”
Ron Levin in
Software
(IEEE)
“The author believes in OOP, has the experience to know that it works, and is willing and able to show us why
and how…
The clear choice
for software people who want to dive straight into object-oriented programming”
Walter Zintz in
Unix World
“The book presents the concepts in an orderly manner and explains them very well. It is even more attractive
because it presents a technique of object-oriented
design.”
Pierre America in
Science of Computer Programming
A whole generation was introduced to object technology through the first edition of Bertrand Meyer’s
OOSC.
This long-awaited new edition retains the qualities of clarity, practicality and scholarship that made the first an
instant best-seller. It has been thoroughly revised and considerably expanded. No other book on the market
provides such a breadth and depth of coverage on the most important technology in software development.
SOME OF THE NEW TOPICS COVERED IN DEPTH BY THIS SECOND EDITION:
•
Concurrency,
distribution, client-server and the Internet.
• Object-oriented
databases,
persistence, schema evolution.
•
Design by contract:
how to build software that works the first time around.
• A study of fundamental
design patterns.
• How to find
the classes
and many others topics of
object-oriented methodology.
• How to
use inheritance well
and detect misuses.
•
Abstract data types:
the theory behind object technology.
•
Typing:
role, issues and solutions.
• More than 400
references
to books, articles, Web pages, newsgroups;
glossary
of object
technology.
• And many new developments on the topics of the first edition: reusability, modularity, software
quality, O-O languages, inheritance techniques, genericity, memory management, etc.
About the author
Bertrand Meyer is one of the pioneers of modern software engineering, whose experience spans both industry and academia.
He has led the development of successful O-O products and libraries totaling thousands of classes. His Prentice Hall books
include
Object Success
(an introduction to object technology for managers),
Introduction to the Theory of Programming
Languages, Eiffel: The Language, Object-Oriented Applications,
and
Reusable Software.
He is a frequent keynote speaker
at international conferences and consultant for Fortune 500 companies, editor of the Object-Oriented Series, associate
member of the applications section of the French Academy of Sciences, chairman of the TOOLS conference series, and
