Object-oriented design and programming: an Eiffel, C++, and Java course for C programmers

Authors Info & Claims
Published:01 March 1997Publication History

ABSTRACT

An undergraduate junior or senior level course in object-oriented design and programming is described. The course assumes familiarity with ANSI C and with data structures. The course is a popular elective among upper division students. The small, elegant, pure, and powerful object-oriented language Eiffel is used to illustrate the significant object concepts and as a guide to identifying the most relevant subsets of the C++ and Java languages.
