Set the proper name "Object-Oriented Software Construction" so that browsers will not word-wrap it, since it is a proper name. The link format I used here should at some point be propagated throughout the website to ensure it is treated as a non-line-breaking proper noun.

==Origin of the Name IRON==
The name Eiffel was chosen to reflect the elegance and soundness of constructing large, complex software systems, with '''simple, individual components, each of which is a unit by itself and has its own existence, and can be tested for integrity as a separate unit, but its role in the larger scheme of things is to be used as a "building block"''' for constructing high-integrity software systems. The picture on the front of the book ''[[uuid:496983ef-b86e-772e-16b9-39b37ef80e37|Object-Oriented Software Construction, 2nd Edition]]'' illustrates this.

This of course is intentionally meant as a direct parallel to the famous structure built by the architect and civil engineer Alexandre Gustave Eiffel. This structure was constructed with '''simple, individual components, each of which was a unit by itself and had its own existence and integrity as a separate unit, but its role in the larger scheme of things was to be used as a "building block"''' for constructing a high-integrity structure: the Eiffel Tower.
