Object-oriented programming originated with the Simula language developed by Kristen Nygaard in Oslo in the 1960s. Since then, OOP has achieved great prominence with the commercial success of C++, Smalltalk, and Eiffel. Now, from the birthplace of OOP, comes the new BETA programming language, for which this book is both tutorial and reference. It provides a clear introduction to the basic concepts of OOP and an easy learning curve from simple programs to more advanced applications in BETA for students and programmers.

FEATURES:

1. First book on an important new object-oriented programming language.
2. Co-author Kristen Nygaard is "the father of object- oriented programming."
3. Complete tutorial on BETA, from simple concepts to more advanced topics including concurrency and large system development .
4. Appendices provide a complete reference for BETA and associated tools.
