       * The BON method for analysis and design of object-oriented software is a means of extending the higher-level concepts of the Eiffel programming language into the realm of analysis and design aided by a graphical notation akin to but different from UML.
       * BON is described in depth in the book **Seamless Object-Oriented Software Architecture** by Kim Waldén and Jean-Marc Nerson. Prentice Hall, 1994.  The book is out of print but is available as a [[http://www.bon-method.com/book_print_a4.pdf|pdf]].

-      * The text //Touch of Class// is available with online access via Steacie Library.
       * The book describes computational thinking with the Eiffel language.
       * Use this text to learn about design by contract, polymorphism, static typing, dynamic binding, genericity, multiple inheritance, and lambda expressions (agents). These are all topics needed for this course.
