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?) Last edited by hanzer; 27th August 2017 at 09:24 PM. Reason: polish |

Is there any book you would recommend about OOP?

I'm not familiar with the OO technology landscape. My initial enthusiasm in EiffelStudio was that this might be a complete, coherent toolkit that could be used to build a reasonably efficient and reliable, cross-platform, embedded-multimedia GUI application. Very significantly, regarding my enthusiasm, is that a complete solution includes a mature, well-developed human interface to the tool-set (documentation, tutorials, reference material, cookbooks, community, etc.), and at first pass, something like that seemed to exist. And finally, that the tool-set/method is based on a convenient set of principles that could be comprehensible and competently usable without extensive investment in training and practice. As it turns out, the enthusiasm was premature and probably due mostly to a projection of hope[1] and need[2]. Two or three weeks of research (a rather high cost) produced a more realistic assessment.
[1]: a hope that software "engineering" technology isn't the degenerate cesspool of gang and cult nonsense that it seems to be [2]: a need for usable technology. Last edited by hanzer; 11th September 2017 at 05:34 PM. Reason: punctuation |
