Hi, "Programming in Mathematica" is the standard book for Mathematica Programming, the "Mathematica Programmer" collects mainly Roman Maeders articles in "The Mathematica Journal" and include interesting stuff like his polyhedron code. But it focus *not* on the programming techniques ... Both books are excelent ... The classes.m package is designed to show, that object oriented programming can be done in Mathematica. But nobody would consider it as more than an example that even a wonderfull functional programming language can be misused for nonsense like "object oriented programming". Regards Jens "Steven T. Hatton" <hattons at globalsymmetry.com> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:dnm2tl$8f2$1 at smc.vnet.net... | Has anybody read both of Roman Maeder's books _The Mathematica Programmer_ | and _Programming in Mathematica_?
