Exploring the concepts of object-oriented programming, this book provides a comprehensive survey of advances and developments in the field. Featuring a balanced treatment of both object-oriented programming and C++, each chapter of the book concentrates on an important concept and includes a detailed analysis, a survey of the recent development on the topic, and practical examples in C++ demonstrating the application of the concept. The author's goal is to provide not only an understanding of the tool - namely, the C++ programming language - but also the theoretical basis of the concepts employed as a tool. Coverage is geared toward professionals working in the software development and programming environments who are interested in this programming paradigm and how C++ employs its concepts. The book examines developments in the field, including concurrent programming, object-oriented databases, prototyp- polymorphism, and multiple inheritance.
