Book Description
This is a beginner's introduction to programming which uses Oberon as the programming language. Oberon is chosen because it is the natural descendant of the teaching languages Pascal and Modula and because it is designed to encourage good object-oriented practices. Oberon provides program safety, modularity, readability, maintainability, efficiency, and support for programming-in-the-large. The author begins with introducing procedures - the basic building blocks of Oberon programs - before introducing types and then type- bound procedures. Along the way, students will build increasingly complex modules of Oberon code and develop a basic understanding of the advantages of object-oriented programming. As a result students coming to programming for the first time will appreciate this hands-on textbook. Readers familiar with programming but new to Oberon will find this a well-paced guide to the language which will have them programming interesting software quickly. ... Read more

Book Description
This book is a detailed introduction to programming in Oberon-2, the object oriented successor of Pascal. Oberon-2 provides elegant support for programming using a unique blend of structured and object oriented techniques. The book follows a "hands on" approach to teaching based on many examples which start by illustrating basic Oberon-2 language features and gradually increase in scope up to the full range of object oriented programming. The book is completely self-contained and enables readers to develop native Windows programs. It comes with a full Windows based integrated development environment and all the examples contained in the book on CD-ROM (suitable for Windows 3.1x, Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0). The included software is free for educational and private purposes. ... Read more

Book Description
This book covers the basic concepts of OOP, shows typical application patterns, gives useful design hints, and finally presents the design and implementation of an object-oriented windows system with an integrated text and graphics editor. The language used throughout this book in Oberon-2, a clean and type-safe language designed at ETH Zürich. However, the emphasis of the book is not on the language but on the concepts of OOP. They can easiliy be transferred to any other object-oriented language. The book is aimed at students of computer science as well as at practitioners who want to gain a perspective on modern software development techniques. Compilers for Oberon-2 as well as the source code of the case study in this book are freely available for several common workstations. ... Read more

Book Description
Programming languages and system architectures are at the frontiers of two different worlds. The conference on which this book is based was an adventure in a land where the two worlds - the formal world of algorithms and the physical world of electronic circuits - interact. The participants explored this land under the guidance of internationally renowned researchers such as Butler W. Lampson, Susan Graham, Jan L.A. van de Snepscheut, and C.A.R. Hoare, all of whom gave invited papers. The volume includes these papers together with sixteen session papers. Subjects of special interest include: programing language design and history, programming environments, programming methods, operating systems, compiler construction, and innovative system architectures. ...

Book Description
Der Autor führt den Leser von den Grundlagen objektorientierter Programmierung über Entwurfs- und Codierungstechniken hin zu einer realistischen Fallstudie in Form eines objektorientierten Fenstersystems mit Text- und Grafikeditor. In UML-Notation wird gezeigt, wofür sich objektorientierte Programmierung eignet und welche Probleme man mit ihr lösen kann. Als Programmiersprache wird Oberon-2 verwendet, ein moderner Nachfolger von Pascal. Die dritte Auflage enthält neue Kapitel über Entwurfsmuster und Kontrakte, ein erweitertes Kapitel über Frameworks sowie ein Glossar.Die beigefügte CD-ROM enthält Oberon-2-Compiler für Windows 95/NT, PowerMac und LINUX. Weitere Oberon-2-Compiler sind von der ETH Zürich erhältlich. ... Read more
