The book provides conventions for:* formatting* naming* documentation * programming* and packagingfor the latest ANSI standard of C++, and also includes discussion of advanced topics such as templates.

This is a step-by-step introduction to object-oriented software development. It is suitable for teaching and for self study by practising software engineers seeking to add rigour to their techniques. Seven complete case studies are included along with several smaller examples derived from small software projects developed for and delivered to real users. These examples make use of a bridge process, which presents a systematic approach for developing analysis models and unfolding these incrementally and iteratively through to design models and implementation. The process could be viewed as one example of unified software development and has the potential of being scalable to large software problems. It also provides a model for organising deliverables obtained throughout different phases of the software life cycle. These case studies provide a medium for experimental use and act as templates that can be tailored by readers to fit their specific needs and circumstances.

Have you wanted to acquire that essential programming edge which will allow you to harness the full power of lists and objects? Are you looking to create innovative Director products for the Internet at the highest level of technical expertise? Have you reached that stage of using Lingo where the only next step you can take is to finally understand object-oriented programming?
If you have said "yes" to any of the above, you have the right book in your hands. It is the first choice of both professionals and learners alike and is the most frequently recommended book on the Director User Internet forums for understanding the black art of OOPS and taking Lingo programming to areas the manuals never reach.
What readers said about the first edition...
A- ...for my money it's the best Director book in the market.
A- Lingo Sorcery is amazing. It's not a "how to" book per se, (though it has lots of how to in it) it's a "how to" book with a lot of accompanying thoughts on how most effectively to think about OOP and multimedia design from an organic point of view.
A- In my opinion, Lingo Sorcery is easily the best info on OOP for Lingo.
A- I am finally starting to get the hang of OOPing, but I heard Peter's book is awesome.
A- See some crazy (but interesting) examples of ways to use OOP with Lingo, read Lingo Sorcery by Peter Small. It's amazing. It will really get your creative juices flowing.
This second edition covers two major advances in Director which have opened up new vistas to users. Behaviors are easy to conceptualize, and allow those who have very little programming knowledge to design in an object-oriented programming (OOP) style. The newApplication Programming Interface (API) introduced along with a set of Net Xtras has transformed Director from a closed application into an open system-allowing it to become the new killer app for the Internet and the Web.
Peter Small has again employed his unique powers of explanation and analogy to help Director users who have no technical, programming background, to think and understand Lingo's OOP functionality, expanding the envelope of Director even beyond the visions of its creators.

Data Structures and Other Objects Using Java is a gradual, "just-in-time" introduction to Data Structures for a CS2 course.

Each chapter provides a review of the key aspects of object-oriented programming and a syntax review, giving students the foundation for understanding significant programming concepts. With this framework they are able to accomplish writing functional data structures by using a five-step method for working with data types; understanding the data type abstractly, writing a specification, using the data type, designing and implementing the data type, and analyzing the implementation. Students learn to think analytically about the efficiency and efficacy of design while gaining exposure to useful Java classes libraries.

This book was originally written to support an introductory course in Object Orientation through the medium of Smalltalk (and VisualWorks in particular). However, it can be used as a book to teach the reader Smalltalk, to introduce object orientation as well as present object oriented design and analysis. It takes as its basic premise that most Computer Scientists I Software Engineers learn best by doing rather than from theoretical notes. The chapters therefore attempt to introduce concepts by getting you the reader to do things, rather than by extensive theoretical discussions. This means that these chapters take a hands-on approach to the subject and assume that the student/reader has a suitable Small talk environment available to them. The chapters are listed below and are divided into six parts. The reader is advised to work through Parts 1 and 3 thoroughly in order to gain a detailed understanding of object orientation. Part 2 then provides an introduction to the Smalltalk environment and language. Other chapters may then be dipped into as required. For example, if the reader wishes to hone their Smalltalk skills then the chapters in Part 4 would be useful. However, if at that point they wish to get on and discover the delights of graphical user interfaces in Smalltalk, then Part 5 could be read next. Part 6 presents some more advances subjects such as metaclasses and concurrency which are not required for straight forward Small talk development.

The emergence of Java as the dominant object oriented programming language has resulted in upcoming OODBMS products such as Ozone, which are purely Java based. It has also resulted in upgradation of existing OODBMS products extending their features with Java environment. In the ORDBMS product line, Oracle 9i and DB2 are offering considerable object oriented database features. All these new developments are discussed in the Second Edition. The first edition of this compact text evoked good response from the readers. The new edition continues to provide a good exposure on object database systems, in terms of different approaches to object data management as well as the various architectures of object database systems. The three major approaches, semantic database systems approach, object-oriented programming language extension approach, and relational extension approach (leading to object relational system) are covered in detail. Exercises have been added at the end of each chapter to sharpen the analytical abilities of the reader. The book will be extremely useful to computer professionals and postgraduate students studying courses in database systems area.

The C++ programming language allows programmer to make all kinds of mistakes such as access memory beyond the bounds of an allocated array, or read memory which was never initialized, or allocate memory and forget to de-allocate it, e.g. there are great many ways to "shoot yourself in a foot" while programming in C++, and the C++ language will not catch you by the hand and instead will proceed happily until it will either crash or produce an unreasonable result or do something which is in computer literature called by a vague but scary term "an unpredictable behavior". So, in this sense, the C++ is unsafe. This book contains discussion of some of the most typical mistakes made by us, programmers, in C++ code and also some recipes how to avoid each of these mistakes. The undeniable truth is that any program significantly more complex than "Hello, World" would contain some number of errors, also affectionately called "bugs", which are put in there by the Programmer. The Great Question of Programming is how do we make the number of these bugs smaller (that is, without slowing the process of programming to a halt)?
