First paragraph:I’ve put together various emails on the subject of object-oriented documentation, but none of these should be considered a fully reasoned discussion. The following is more in the nature of a rough draft, put forward to provoke discussion. A lot of the email springs from the 1997 IEEE meeting in Salt Lake City, and so, as time goes by, this document will be a kind of time capsule. I hope to expand it into a more formal paper during 1998, but I will leave these meandering thoughts up until they crumble with age. If you have comments or suggestions, please email me at YourName@aol.com. Thanks. Answer => |
Answer Modified: November 21, 1997 Draft: See final paper (1998) http://www.OOdocs.com/1997 Copyright 1997 Jonathan Price
