TABLE OF CONTENTS

[author : Steven Kienle]

Steve discusses Object Pascal, focusing on how the language implements objects and methods. In the process, he implements a network graph, using objects that can be reused for other applications.

[author : Marty Franz]

Filters come in all shapes and sizes, and writing them is easier with an object-oriented language. Marty shows you how, using Actor as his environment of choice.

[author : John M. Dlugosz]

The first step to designing your own C++ compiler is to build a good parser. Here’s a table-driven parser generator John created, it may be the foundation for a system of your own.

[author : Bertrand Meyer]

Eiffel’s been described as the only pure object-oriented language currently around. Bertrand developed Eiffel and he discusses how you can use the language to write better software.

[author : Joseph Mouhanna and Michael Vose ]

Microsoft used QuickPascal itself to write the QuickPascal user interface. Joseph and Mike show you how they did it, and how you can take advantage of some of the same techniques.

[author : Kenneth E. Ayers]

Ken’s LogicLab system, a simulated bench environment, includes everything from ICs to a logic analyzer — and they’re all written in Smalltalk.

[author : Scott Guthery]

Scott plays the devil’s advocate, asking some tough questions about object-oriented programming while attempting to separate the technological wheat from the marketing chaff.

[author : Ronald Fischer]

Proponents of the functional programming paradigm get together every couple of years to examine advances in their craft. They met this year in London, and Ronald was there to report on what happened at the conference, paying particular attention to the Haskell programming language.

[author : Bruce Tonkin]

It’s no secret that smaller code runs faster and, as Bruce found out, Crescent Software’s PDQ really does help QuickBasic code run "pretty darn quick."

[author : Michael Swaine]

OOPSLA '89 was one of this year’s most exciting — and important — conferences. Here is Mike’s wrap-up.

[author : Al Stevens]

Al embarks on a new multi-issue project with the development of TEXTSRCH, a document retrieval system, while continuing his review of C++ books and his ANSI update.

[author : Jeff Duntemann]

GUI development leads Jeff to Microsoft Windows, which in turn steers him to Actor and Smalltalk/V for PM and all of the object-oriented baggage that’s associated with these languages.
