Object-Oriented Design with C++ provides a complete introduction to object-oriented modelling using OMT and to the C++ programming language. For many, C++ is the implementation language of choice for object-oriented development. However, its adoption as a programming language presents a number of major challenges, not the least of which is to reduce the degree of freedom available to the programmer. This book explores these difficulties and their resolution by imposing on the language the use of an object model. This is expressed in the design language LOOM (Language for Object-Oriented Modelling) which provides the balance between the power and flexibility of the C++ programming language and the control required in its use. In this way, LOOM reduces the risk involved in the adoption of C++ as an implementation language. Object-Oriented Design with C++ is the complete package for object-oriented development, and is essential reading for both undergraduate students in computing science and practising software professionals.

Groovy Programming is an introduction to the Java-based scripting language Groovy. Groovy has much in common with popular scripting languages such as Perl, Python, and Ruby, but is written in a Java-like syntax. And, unlike these other languages, Groovy is sanctioned by the Java community for use on the Java platform. Since it is based on Java, applications written in Groovy can make full use of the Java Application Programmer Interfaces (APIs). This means Groovy can integrate seamlessly with applications written in Java, while avoiding the complexities of the full Java language. This bare-bones structure also means Groovy can be used as an introduction to Java and to programming in general. Its simpler constructions and modern origins make it ideal as a first language and for introducing principles such as object-oriented programming. This book introduces all the major aspects of Groovy development and emphasizes Groovy''s potential as a learning tool. Case studies and exercises are included, along with numerous programming examples. The book begins assuming only a general familiarity with Java programming, and progresses to discuss advanced topics such as GUI builders, Groovlets, Unit Testing, and Groovy SQL. * The first comprehensive book on Groovy programming that shows how writing applications and scripts for the Java platform is fast and easy * Written by leading software engineers and acclaimed computing instructors * Offers numerous programming examples, code samples, detailed case studies, exercises for self-study, and a companion website with a Windows-based Groovy editor

This book is intended as an easily accessible desktop resource for lawyers who regularly counsel businesses when negotiating international deals, and for those who represent the same clients in achieving a successful resolution when disputes emerge.
