5.0 out of 5 stars
Make it as simple as possible, but not simpler. (A. Einstein),
By Anton Simakov (Oslo, Norway) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Computing Fundamentals: The Theory and Practice of Software Design with BlackBox Component Builder (Paperback)
This very famous phrase was chosen by Prof. Niklaus Wirth as epigraph to the Oberon language report. Component Pascal is a superset of Oberon-2. Compared to Oberon-2, as usual for "Wirth programming languages line" (Algol -> Pascal -> Modula-2 -> Oberon -> Oberon-2) it provides several clarifications and improvements.
Using such powerful but simple programming language the author of this book reached the aim of introducing the computing fundamentals (languages & grammars, algorithms & data structures, OOP & OOAD, UML & design patterns, frameworks & GUI, ...) on just 600 pages! And if You think that 600 pages is a bit too much then look at the similar C++ book: C++ How to Program (6th Edition). 1500 pages! And after such comparison the epigraph to the Deitel's book preface sounds a little bit ironic: "The chief merit of language is clearness ..." (Galen). Ancient philosopher was of course right, but C++ doesn't refer to such languages at all. |
