description: This is, quite simply, the definitive reference on the most important development in software technology for the last 20 years: object-orientation. A whole generation was introduced to object technology through the first edition of this book. This long-awaited new edition retains the qualities of clarity, practicality and scholarship that made the first an instant bestseller, but has been thoroughly revised and expanded.Among the new topics covered in depth are: concurrency, distribution, client/server and the Internet, object-oriented databases, design by contract, fundamental design patterns, finding classes, the use and misuse of inheritance, abstract data types, and typing issues. The book also includes completely updated discussions of reusability, modularity, software quality, object-oriented languages, memory management, and many other essential topics.
