Il découvrira l. a. vérité à Kibangou, vérité dans laquelle... le chat avait un rôle. Dans los angeles nuit des ports, sous le soleil du Congo, une aventure torride — avec ce qu'il faut de risk, de suspense, d'humour et de revenues varieties — servie par un dessin lumineux et expressif.

Calec, réembarqué sur le Ouessant et très désireux de revoir Rosana et Iñès, leur petite fille, vient de tracer sur los angeles carte "la path de Rouen".

Une suite air of mystery donc bien lieu, en l'occurrence avec un cycle qui se déroulera en Asie.

Objektorientiertes Programmieren, objektorientierte examine und Entwurf etablieren sich seit einigen Jahren als Standardtechniken in der Softwareentwicklung. Das Arbeiten mit Komponenten und Klassenbibliotheken ist inzwischen ebenso selbstverständlich wie der Einsatz moderner Spezifikationstechniken wie der "Unified Modeling Language" UML.
Die Grundkenntnisse objektorientierter Methodik, deren zugrundeliegende Konzepte, sowie examine- und Entwurfstechniken sind Gegenstand dieses Lehrbuchs. Anwendungsbeispiele und die Programmierung in C++ runden das Werk ab. Im Vordergrund steht dabei, Antworten auf alle Fragen zu erhalten, die sich bei einem Einstieg in die objektorientierte Programmierung stellen. Viele Themen werden mit Beispielen illustriert und mit praxisnahen Übungen "zum Weiterdenken" angeboten.
Das Buch eignet sich zum Selbststudium, zum Einsatz in der Lehre und als Übersicht für das Management.

Dr. Ute Claussen, Jahrgang 1962, studierte Informatik an der TU Darmstadt und promovierte an der Universität Tübingen über schnelle Beleuchtungs- und Schattierungsverfahren. Objektorientierung hat sie als Mitentwicklerin eines Fahrsimulators, als Lehrbeauftragte an der Universität Bremen und als selbständige Beraterin für Objektorientierung, Computergrafik und Projektmanagement gelehrt und in vielen Anwendungsprojekten umgesetzt. Derzeit arbeitet sie als Geschäftsführerin eines kleinen Unternehmens hauptsächlich in Softwareprojekten der Baubranche.
