Great Intro To Eiffel

This is a very approachable book on software engineering in the language Eiffel. Every aspect of the language is covered in great detail, and there are plenty of exercises and illustrations throughout to help readers stay on course.Some of the material here is quite hard to find in other computer texts. For instance, there are chapters that discuss the theory behind Abstract Data Types, exception handling, the client/supplier relationship, and polymorphism in much greater depth than one will find in about 95% of the OO texts on the shelves.No matter what the language in which you program, you owe it to yourself to read this book. And while you're at it, pick up a copy of Meyer's Object Oriented Software Construction 2nd ed.
