From article <6133@helios.ee.lbl.gov>, by beard@ux1.lbl.gov (Patrick C Beard): > By the way, has anyone read Meyer's book on Eiffel? Eiffel has been touted > (by him and others) as having the cleanest implementation of MI of any language > so far. I would hope somebody is working on an implementation for the > Macintosh. I strongly recommend Bertrand Meyer's "Object Oriented Software Construction," Prentice-Hall 1988. It's the clearest motivation and introduction to object concepts I've seen. He happens to use his Eiffel language for all examples, but the concepts are clear and useful independent of the language. ISC (Meyer's company) recently announced Eiffel for A/UX 2.0, at a price of $995 for the complete environment, which is considerable. A MacOS version is planned for next year sometime, but no ship date is announced. See comp.lang.eiffel for more. =Ned Horvath= (My only connection with Meyer or ISC is as a very satisfied reader of the above-mentioned book.)
