This Jolt Award winner takes the reader through the clear, logical, and comprehensive formation of a method for object-oriented software development ... the Eiffel method. During this journey, the author evolves a notation capable of expressing the products of each phase of development, from analysis through implementation. This notation is Eiffel the language.

''Touch of Class'' imparts through techniques which have accumulated through decades of study of technical learning and have been applied for several years in courses at ETH Zurich. These techniques include the extensive study and reuse of libraries of high-quality software components, employment of the Eiffel object-oriented method and Design by Contract, an introduction to formal methods and a ubiquitous awareness for software engineering concerns.
''Touch of Class'' imparts its message using techniques which have accumulated through decades of study of technical learning and have been applied for several years in courses at ETH Zurich.

A unique and refreshing aspect of ''Touch of Class'' is that throughout, when credit is given for ideas which form the foundation of modern software thinking, those pioneers, on whose shoulders all software professionals stand, are made human and personal by photographs and historical vignettes.
