Preface
This book is aimed at students who need to learn the basics of programming
or who are studying computing.
It
is a "hands on" book containing many
examples which start by illustrating basic Oberon-2 language features and
gradually increase in scope to cover object-oriented programming concepts
and constructs. Oberon-2 is a successor to the language Pascal, which was
also designed by Prof. N. Wirth [Wir71J.
It
has quickly become a major
language used for teaching purposes. The only thing you need for
successfully working through the book is to have access to a computer
running Windows 3.11 or Windows 95. The material in the book is useful to
students of schools, colleges, and universities for teaching Oberon-2 and
programming at an introductory level.
The scope of the book is not focused on software engineering or object-
oriented technology; other books mentioned in the reference section already
cover these topics in much greater depth. However, the examples in the book
have been designed with these topics firmly in mind. Currently the term
"object-oriented" is very much in fashion, having taken over from structured
programming of the 1970s and '80s. In this book we have taken the view that
a structured programming approach can be used to teach the fundamentals of
programming algorithms. The object-oriented approach is then brought in as
a complementary way to think, analyze, design and program.
It
also provides
richer techniques for achieving encapsulation and reuse of program
implementations. Oberon-2 is often referred to as a hybrid language as it
provides elegant support for programming using either structured or object-
oriented programming, or indeed any practically useful combination of these
two approaches.
A CD-ROM containing
POW!
software for Windows is provided with the
book.
It
consists of a programming support environment including an
Oberon-2 compiler, libraries, and the source code for the examples. The
software is royalty free for educational use and so may be freely used within
educational establishments. The first two chapters of the book describe the
installation of the
POW!
Borland-like environment and how to work with the
integrated text editor, which includes many features to support the
development of programs written in Oberon-2. The facility for creating and
linking Windows DLLs (Dynamic Link Libraries) makes it possible to use
existing DLL based libraries and to interoperate with other Windows
programs written in languages other than Oberon-2, for example C and C++.
In the text each Oberon-2 language construct is described using text, syntax
diagrams, and also EBNF. This semi-formal definition of the language syntax
can be skipped on first reading; full definitions and the syntaxes of the
Oberon-2 and EBNF languages are given in the appendices.
We would like to encourage you not just to read the book but to use the
POW!
system and the examples on the CD-ROM to work through the book.
