Dear Bertrand: Lacking a compiler and, more importantly, authorization to use an OO language such as Eiffel on any real projects, most of us can only try to imagine how we would do things in OO style. We can't know what it is really like to apply the technology to the real world, and how well or badly the paradigm maps to real situations. I think it would be very useful for us OO onlookers out here if you would run an ongoing series of cookbook articles in which you and your staff would present actual, working Eiffel code that solves various programming problems put to you by the audience, as well as common problems of your own choosing. Usenet would be a good place for this series to appear, since those with compilers could snarf the code for re-use. I send you this letter here on the net in the hope that others who would like to see this will lend support. --dave yost
