[comp.object] New Book

budd@mist.cs.orst.edu (Tim Budd) (03/12/91)

At the risk of seeming self promotional, let me just state that my book,
``An Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming'', was published by
Addison-Wesley this week, (ISBN 0-201-54709-0).  It is intended as a
university textbook, not a trade book.  Anybody who might be teaching a
suitable course next year might want to consider looking at it.  Send me
the particulars of your situation (institution, possible course and size,
etc) and I will pass these on to my editor and see if you can get a comp
copy.

I got an early copy of Tim's "An Introduction to OO Programming."  I
would strongly recommend the book.  It is one of the best intros to OO
I have seen.  My only complaint is that he doesn't use CLOS for any of
the examples... but he does use Smalltalk-80, Objective C, C++, and
(ugh) Object Pascal.

Actually, I am using the book right now for a course. I did get a preprint
from A-W, and I like the book. I didn't find a book that came near this one
for the purpose of the course. Unfortunately, the students had up to now to
rely on taking class notes, but within a few weeks the book is supposed to
be available here.

Mark..

I might have missed earlier discussions about Tim's book, if any..
I am looking for a 'good' OO Programming book.. How do I get a
copy?? (* wait until it is out in the market?? *)

Any other public domain  (ftp) OO materials that I can get??

The book is already out.  It is published by Addison-Wesley.  Having used a
pre-publication version for a course last semester, I also strongly
recommend it.
