5.0 out of 5 stars
Good clear book on a great language for programmers
This book offers a clear description of OOP concepts in the context of Eiffel and "design-by-contract". There is a realistic case study that continues on throughout the book. This is the book to read if you want to really get your teeth into Eiffel. It is true that this book is not for the total newbie to programming.

step-by-step learning? NO
This is not an introductory book, definately not for students who are new to OO programming. It's for experienced programmers who wants to learn some object oriented concepts. It is more like a documentation or a handbook. Not a good choice if you want an easy to follow text. Might be useful for referencing purpose.

By israel thomas (sydney, NSW Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Object Oriented Programming in Eiffel (Paperback)
This book offers a clear description of OOP concepts in the context of Eiffel and "design-by-contract".There is a realistic case study that continues on throughout the book. This is the book to read if you want to really get your teeth into Eiffel. It is true that this book is not for the total newbie to programming. (...) Rist is a senior lecturer in the dept of computer science at the University of Technology Sydney and his book has been "battle hardened" by being used in the Comp Sci course there. You can find download part of the book from his home page, but the book is defintely worth buying if you are serious about Eiffel. My only quibble with this book is that it is on Eiffel and not on one of the delightful functional languages like Ocaml , SML or Haskell.

Impossible to read,
By A Customer
This review is from: Object Oriented Programming in Eiffel (Paperback)
This book is absolutely hopeless as a text for university students, its obvious target audience, given Rist's occupation as a lecturer. This is more suited to highly experienced individuals.This book is a poor attempt at demystifying the Eiffel language... a language used rarely, if at all. Not happy, Jan.

This review is from: Object Oriented Programming in Eiffel (Paperback)
This book is WAY too technical for uni students as their first language, or even students with a couple of languages under their belt. You're a nerd israel Not as bad as Rist and Terwilliger though |
