Using a pedagogical approach, this book covers all aspects of object oriented programming: first through the study of various preexisting Smalltalk classes, their implementation and use; then through a detailed description of an implementation of an interactive Lindenmayer system and through implementation of a series of calculators.
The author addresses such subjects as graphics programming, dependency mechanisms and hierarchical specialization.
This book fills the gap for an in-depth self-study reference, permitting the reader to master all aspects of object-oriented programming through a large set of exercises with highly detailed resources.
- Downloadable software content for practice applications
- Covers all aspects of Smalltalk: theconcepts of primitive objects, classes and instances, static and dynamic inheritance and methods, as well as graphical programming, the dependency mechanisms and the handling of exceptions
- Features in-depth studies of two programming projects and annotated solutions to all exercies and appendices
Academics, students and researchers concerned with computer science and seeking a practice-oriented view of object-oriented programming; Smalltalk programmers
