-
- Try out MacOberon, a free implementation of Oberon for the Mac. Oberon
- is well suited as a language to learn about Object Orientation, since
- it focuses on the essentials. The book "Programming in Oberon" by
- Reiser and Wirth (Addison-Wesley, ISBN 0-201-56543-9) is exceptionally
- well written. The Oberon distribution itself contains substantial
- documentation as well.
-
- MacOberon is available from neptune.ethz.ch in directory Oberon.
-
- The only caveat I have: MacOberon will not run with AutoDoubler
- installed. I will keep bugging Fifth Generation Systems about that,
- though.
