Description and Table of Contents

Description

A mini-text or supplement for any Object-Oriented Programming or Concepts of Programming Languages course. Based on the premise that there is much needless confusion about Object-Oriented Programming, this "mini-text" offers a very simple, clear explanation of the truly fundamental issues in OOP that can be read by any programmer. It starts from a simple programming base - independent of C, C++, and Pascal - and builds on this base to unfold the essence of OOP.
