Object-Oriented Software Engineering with Eiffel by: Jean-Marc Jézéquel part of the Eiffel in Practice Series ISBN: 0-201-63381-7 An indispensable resource for anyone working with Eiffel, this up-to-date guide provides full coverage of the most recent version of the language, focusing on Eiffel's practical use in the development of large, mission-critical software systems. In addition to a comprehensive description of Eiffel's syntax and semantics, you will find in-depth information on style guides, analysis and design, design patterns, and validation and testing. Descriptions and comparisons of available compilers and libraries will help you decide which Eiffel tools best fit your development needs. The book even includes an Eiffel resource guide. The book's most notable feature is its three large-scale case studies that demonstrate Eiffel in action, illustrating implementation techniques and showcasing Eiffel's power and effectiveness in three different realms: the MIS world, the embedded systems/telecommunications world, and the numeric world. By reading this book, you will not only obtain a knowledge of the mechanics of Eiffel programming, but you will also come away with an understanding of Eiffel's role in the field of object-oriented technology and a sense of the language's strong potential in large software development.
