Essence of Object-Oriented Programming with Java™ and UML, The

Bruce E. Wampler, founder and CEO of Object Central, was a pioneer in developing spelling and grammar checking software for personal computers, and the co-founder of Reference Software International, which was later acquired by WordPerfect. During his extensive career, he has worked at Sandia National Laboratory and taught at the University of New Mexico. He has also developed and delivered many successful, real-world applications, and several widely used open source object-oriented programming tools. 0201734109AB10122001
