Review

Rating: Unrated

I have read this book four years ago and I plan to read it again in a near future. This is certainly the best book on the subject. Bertrand Meyer (creator of the Eiffel language) do not only show it’s reader the key criteria of an object oriented language but he explain the core theory behind it. A big part of the book is consecrated to software quality and coined the Design by Contract approach. Unfortunalty C# does not support (yet) these type of constructs (see spec#).

This is definitely a must read.
