COBOL Programmers Can Reap the Benefits of Object Technology with Unique
New Book

Provides a complete introduction and migration program for COBOL developers
moving to object-oriented programming

BLUE RIDGE SUMMIT, PA--The first book of its kind, Object-Oriented
Development with COBOL serves as a complete resource for the vast number
of COBOL developers who are unfamiliar with object-oriented analysis and
design methods but want to learn and use object technology.

Beginning with a short discussion of the history, concepts, and terminology
of object technology, author Andrew Topper covers every topic related to
object-oriented development with COBOL (OOCOBOL), including life cycle
issues for using objects and messages. Practical examples explain and
describe each phase of the object-oriented development process, from
analysis through implementation in object-oriented COBOL. Topics include:

* Design and implementation considerations for OOCOBOL
* Programming in OOCOBOL and GUI development
* Maintaining object-oriented COBOL applications
* Modifying existing COBOL applications to support object-oriented
  concepts
* Reusing object-oriented COBOL components
* The future of OOCOBOL

Convenient sidebars list standards for object technology and compare OOA/D
methods and visual OOPL products
