Object Technology

More about the book

The first edition set a standard of excellence that has eluded its successors, and I have recommended it to clients for years. The new edition is a gift to the field and should be required reading for all managers." - Adrian J. Bowles, Ph.D., Vice President Giga Information Group. "One of the most readable introductions you will find. The new edition offers vital insights into the effective use of objects in business." - Chris Stone, President Object Management Group. Widely regarded as a classic introduction to object technology, this updated edition addresses the critical issues surrounding its growth and offers a glimpse into the future of this evolving paradigm. As many large companies transition to object technology, David Taylor has retained the conciseness and clarity that made the first edition a best-seller. This new edition covers key terms, emerging concepts, and practical applications of object technology. It serves as a lucid introduction for managers, salespeople, engineers, software developers, and anyone interested in understanding or implementing object technology. Highlights of this edition include insights into increased agility, reduced time-to-market, and the potential of globally distributed business systems on the World Wide Web.
