An Invitation to Eiffel
Welcome to the on-line introduction to the Eiffel method and language.
This material was derived from chapter 1, An Invitation to Eiffel,
of the book
Eiffel: The Language ,
the official reference on Eiffel, published by Prentice Hall and
available from bookstores as well as from ISE and its distributors.
This is the first time an extensive Eiffel introduction has been made available on line
and we hope you will find it useful.
Be sure to look at the other on-line documents, in particular
to the indispensable complement to this overview of the language and method:
the introduction to EiffelBench, ISE's acclaimed graphical development environment for
Eiffel.
Check also for other manuals frequently
being added, and for information about books and other documentation on
Eiffel and related topics.
