Title: A case of the Emperor's New Clothes?
Review: Everyone seems to be tripping over one another to praise OO and how this book is being presented as the shining gem of this field. But I couldn't get past the first few pages as I CAN'T figure out what the whole point of the subject is! I can appreciate the power of objects (say in a language like Python or Java) but Eiffel (and this book) takes it way too far from programming realities. Maybe this book and Eiffel will be much more suitable for those who are designing REALLY large systems (i doubt it though since if it sucks at small things then more so far large right?) where all the dense OO concepts might be more applicable but as for me, I'm willing to unload this book to whoever wants to buy it from me for half the price.
Is the review positive or negative?
