Object-oriented programming with C++

the long version

This book provides software professionals with in-depth coverage of the object-oriented paradigm, as well as the technology involved in its implementation. This book explains why object-oriented programming can vastly improve programmers' productivity and shows how to apply object-oriented analysis, design and programming in a practical environment. Many programming examples are provided, and special attention is given to how different programming languages support the core of object-oriented concepts. All programming examples have been updated to reflect the latest ANSI C++ standard; all definitions and terminology updated to reflect the Object Management Group standard object model; additional coverage of encapsulation features of ANSI C++; updated to reflect current versions of Smalltalk, Eiffel, and ObjectPascal; updated coverage of commonly available class libraries; expanded coverage of object-oriented database design; expanded coverage of object-oriented analysis and design; and includes one floppy disk, containing source code for all of the programming examples in the book.
