I've only been reading this book for a little over a week but I am blown away by the clarity and sobriety of the writing style (especially for a computer-programming/software-engineering book).
Later this year or early next year I will probably start the development of a GUI application similar to
vcode that will need to be deployed on multiple platforms. This
book, in conjunction with the
EiffelStudio, the
standard, and the rich set of
developer documentation, is beginning to look like it might be a complete, coherent solution with exceptional quality. It will be a few more months before I can make a decision but it is very possible that I might buy into this methodology wholeheartedly for this type of application. (Uh oh, did I drink the kool-aid?)
