Opis

This text recognizes that there is a shift in business to object-oriented techniques and introduces the student to this essential tool in the context of a well-established language. It provides the knowledge necessary to begin understanding how to design and develop information systems using Object COBOL. The text starts by describing OO in straightforward terms and then goes through the development of a relatively simple system using Object COBOL. The code is presented in detail and can be used by the reader, especially as the accompanying disk contains all the examples from the text.
