“Object Engineering— An Interactive Primer”
on CD-ROM

OO, OE, C/S, polymorphism, OOP, C++, inheritance, specialization, classes, encapsulation.... HELP! So many new ideas, new concepts, and of course, new jargon can distract us from seeing the practical value of new technology. Professionals are frustrated with attempts to relate the new object-oriented and Client-Server paradigms to current practices in a pragmatic way.

Education is a major factor in a smooth transition to any new way of thinking. Synon’s Object Engineering approach is evolutionary rather than revolutionary, building upon the best practices of application development from the past, and applying new ideas and technology in a sensible way.

Recognizing the difficulties in understanding object technology, Synon introduces the Object Engineering Primer. The Object Engineering Primer is an interactive, introductory educational guide on CD-ROM that explains object-oriented concepts as well as Synon’s Object Engineering approach to application development. Those interested in learning more about this new technology will benefit from using this educational primer, which features video segments, interactive examples and extensive visuals to illustrate Object Engineering and the Object Engineering approach to application development.

The Object Engineering Primer’s glossary, map, and self-guided tour allow you to choose the depth of material covered, as well as the pace. Whether you can spare ten minutes or three hours at a given sitting, your time is well spent as you choose the topics that are most relevant to you. The Object Engineering Primer is an essential pre-requisite for in-depth Obsydian training for anyone unfamiliar with the concepts of model based development, Object Orientation, or Object Engineering. Topics include:

• Software Today
• Object Orientation
• Object Engineering
• The Evolution of Programming
