Product 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. ...

Product 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

Product 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

Product 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

Product Description
In 1985 Niklaus Wirth and Jurg Gutknecht embarked on a project to build a new workstation from scratch. The quote from Einstein: 'Make it as simple as possible, but not simpler' served as a signpost for their approach resulting in a system of exemplary lucidity, efficiency and compactness. Wirth was fascinated by the accuracy and reliability of the Voyager space probe then passing Oberon, one of the moons of Uranus. The project was christened Oberon in its honor. This is the definitive guide to the Oberon language developed as a successor to Pascal and Modula 2. Programming in Oberon provides: * A programming tutorial that demonstrates modern programming concepts; * A complete language reference that explains the syntax and use of Oberon. This unique tutorial will be suitable for students learning Oberon as well as providing a valuable reference for professional programmers. Key features of the book* An early introduction to procedures and modules; * A unifying series of examples of increasing complexity which build up throughout the book towards a complete realistic simulation package; * An explanation of the object-oriented style of programming and its advantages. ...

Excerpt: Oberon-2 is an extension of the original Oberon programming language that adds limited reflection and object-oriented programming facilities, open arrays as pointer base types, read-only field export and reintroduces the FOR loop from Modula-2. It was developed in 1991 at ETH Zurich by Niklaus Wirth and Hanspeter Mössenböck, who is now at Institut für Systemsoftware (SSW) of the University of Linz, Austria. Oberon-2 is a superset of Oberon, and is fully compatible with it. Oberon-2 was a redesign of Object Oberon. Oberon-2 inherited limited reflection and single inheritance ("type extension") without interfaces or mixins from Oberon, but added efficient virtual methods ("type bound procedures"). Method calls were resolved at run-time using C++-style virtual method tables. Compared to fully object-oriented programming languages like Smalltalk, in Oberon-2 basic types are not objects, classes are not objects, many operations are not methods, there is no message passing (to a certain extent it can be emulated by reflection and through message extension, as demonstrated in ETH Oberon), and polymorphism is limited to subclasses of a common class (no duck typing like in Smalltalk/Ruby, and it's not possible to define interfaces like in Java). Oberon-2 does not support encapsulation at object/class level, but modules can be used for this purpose. Reflection in Oberon-2 does not use meta-objects, but simply reads from type descriptors compiled into the executable binaries, and exposed in the modules that define the types and/or procedures. If the format of these structures are exposed at the language level (as is the case for ETH Oberon, for exam...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=449019 ... Read more

Product Description
Die 2., überarbeitete Auflage des erfolgreichen Titels behandelt neben den Grundlagen der objektorientierten Programmierung wie Klassen, Vererbung und dynamische Bindung auch Fragen des objektorientierten Entwurfs, zeigt typische Anwendungsmuster von Klassen und gibt Hinweise für nützliche Programmiertechniken. Es zeigt, wofür sich objektorientierte Programmierung eignet, welche Probleme man mit ihr lösen kann und für welche man besser konventionelle Mittel benutzt. Als Programmiersprache wird Oberon-2 verwendet, eine an der ETH Zürich aus Pascal und Modula-2 hervorgegangene Sprache. Neben modernen Prinzipien der Softwaretechnik wie strenge Typenprüfung, Modularität und Objektorientiertheit zeichnet sich Oberon-2 durch besondere Einfachheit aus. Wer Pascal oder Modula-2 beherrscht, kann Oberon-2-Programme ohne Schwierigkeit lesen. Oberon-2-Compiler sind für verschiedene Rechner von der ETH Zürich erhältlich. Auch der Quellcode der in diesem Buch enthaltenen Fallstudie kann über die ETH angefordert werden. ... Read more

Excerpt: Common Lisp, commonly abbreviated CL, is a dialect of the Lisp programming language, published in ANSI standard document ANSI INCITS 226-1994 (R2004), (formerly X3.226-1994 (R1999)). From the ANSI Common Lisp standard the Common Lisp HyperSpec has been derived for use with web browsers. Common Lisp was developed to standardize the divergent variants of Lisp (though mainly the MacLisp variants) which predated it, thus it is not an implementation but rather a language specification. Several implementations of the Common Lisp standard are available, including free and open source software and proprietary products. Common Lisp is a general-purpose, multi-paradigm programming language. It supports a combination of procedural, functional, and object-oriented programming paradigms. As a dynamic programming language, it facilitates evolutionary and incremental software development, with iterative compilation into efficient run-time programs. Common Lisp includes CLOS, an object system that supports multimethods and method combinations. It is extensible through standard features such as Lisp macros (compile-time code rearrangement accomplished by the program itself) and reader macros (extension of syntax to give special meaning to characters reserved for users for this...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=6068 ...
