Description
For object-oriented programming courses in Smalltalk or as a supplement to concepts of programming language or software engineering courses using Smalltalk.
Designed to bridge the gap between well-established software engineering principles and the actual practice of programing in an OOP language such as Smalltalk, this text documents a minimal set of guidelines and potential standards in design techniques that promote easy reuse and maintenance of object-oriented code, reduce the number of defects, and make code easier to read.
