Objectives

This section sketches the nature and range of literature available. It is meant as a source for further study.

Hints

It is important for students to develop their own ideas on the subject of object orientation, and to be able to express their thoughts in their own words. A comparative study of the literature on OOP is likely to induce a relativistic attitude towards the notions employed and the claims made.

Comments

During my course, I occasionally talk about the issues involved in writing an article or some technical documentation. My point of view is that writing is also an important professional skill for computer science students. Further, I may safely state that for writing about OOP one needs to be informed about OOP, that is about other people's views, whether you agree with them or not.
