Covers layout and structure; comments; code formatting; software reuse and overall program structure; reliability and portability; tips, tricks, and traps. For product managers and programmers using all object-oriented languages. "This book is an excellent, inexpensive resource for learning to read and write impeccable object-oriented code in any language. The autors provide specific guidelines for using Smalltalk to produce reliable source code that is clear, easy to read, and easy to understand. The text is designed to bridge the gap between established software engineering principles and the actual practice of programming in an object-oriented language such as Smalltalk. Book jacket."--Jacket For object-oriented programming courses in Smalltalk, this book is designed to bridge the gap between software engineering principles and the actual practice of programing in an OOP language. It documents a minimal set of guidelines and potential standards in design techniques that promote reuse and maintenance of object-oriented code.
