Bowles, Ph.D., Vice President Giga Information Group "One of the most readable introductions you will find. The new edition offers vital insights into the effective use of objects in business." - Chris Stone, President Object Management Group The first edition of "Object Technology: A Manager's Guide" is widely viewed as the classic introduction to this powerful computing concept.
