Take an objective look at how Java, C++ and Eiffel handle interfaces and access control; constructors, destructors, and casts; and how they behave at compile time and runtime. Most of all, understand how each of these elements impacts real-world programmer effectiveness -- for better, and for worse. Joyner has written a controversial book.

    Over the past generation or so, however, a growing number of these networks began to serve primarily corporate users. Under the sway of an expansionary market logic, the Internet began a political-economic transition toward what Dan Schiller calls “digital capitalism.” Schiller traces these metamorphoses through three critically important and interlinked realms.

Part III shows how cyberspace offers uniquely supple instruments with which to cultivate and deepen consumerism on a transnational scale, especially among privileged groups. Finally, Part IV shows how digital capitalism has already overtaken education, placing it at the mercy of a proprietary market logic.
