I have recently received a mailing from Addison-Wesley advertising
"Computer Books for the Professional". Included in the list of books
offered is the following (new):
"An Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming and C++" by
Richard Weiner and Lewis Pinson
"An Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming and Smalltalk" by
Lewis Pinson and Richard Weiner
There was an article in comp.lang.c++ that expressed disappointment in
the C++ book.
Has anybody read, or looked through, the Smalltalk book? Could you
please provide me (and/or other net-readers) with your thoughts on the
book (accuracy, readability, usefulness, appropriate audience, etc.)?
How does it compare/contrast to the "Orange Book" (and/or "Blue Book")?
I'll be happy to summarize reviews to the net!
Thanks.
