  Bertrand Meyer And His Opinions
See the discussion of Meyer's article BewareOfCeeHackers ("But in general you should be cautious about including C hackers in your projects").
Meyer always sustained that SingleInheritance is dumb, for example: "The absence of multiple inheritance in Java precludes using many of the most useful patterns of object-oriented development, which combine several abstractions into a new one".
Meyer used to be a fairly visible OO evangelist.

  Bertrand Meyer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bertrand Meyer (born 1950 in France) developed the Eiffel programming language, and is an author, academic and consultant in the field of computer languages.
Meyer pursues the ideal of simple, elegant and user-friendly computer languages and is one of the earliest and most vocal proponents of object-oriented programming (OOP).
In 2005, Meyer was a winner of the AITO Ole-Johan Dahl and Kristen Nygaard prize.

 Object Oriented Software Construction, Bertrand Meyer (1997)
Meyer argues that inheritance is useful for developing multiple versions of a class.
Meyer insists the "root execution procedure" is not a "main" function because it should only create other objects and get them going.
(Meyer agrees that this happens rarely on the next page and says that these cases are not for beginners, but he never points out that the driver example would be better implemented in a different way).

 Bertrand Meyer's .NET Training Course   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
And with all due respect to Dr. Meyer, I found that his voice put me to sleep -- a remarkable monotone that fit perfectly with a very intelligent college-professor type, but was not at all conducive to presenting this material.
Meyer is really a great comunicator and knows what he is talking about.
Meyer has a sweeping knowledge of computer science, both theoretical and applied.

 Mathematics :: Object-oriented Software Construction (Prentice-Hall Resource) - , Bertrand Meyer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Meyer opens with coverage of the need for an object-oriented approach to software development, citing improved quality and development speed as key advantages of the approach.
Meyer pays attention to techniques, such as classes, objects, memory management, and more, returning to each technique and polishing his readers' knowledge of it as he explains how to employ it "well".
Bertrand Meyer is sometimes criticised for his strong opinions, but here they are all backed up with solid reasoning, lucid arguments and more than enough brevity to stop the whole lot being dull as dishwater.

 Mock Turtle Soup: Bertrand Meyer not completely right
In this interview with Bertrand Meyer on Artima, Bertrand Meyer hopes that Test-Driven Development is like Design By Contract.
I hope Bertrand Meyer makes it clear that his idea of how to use TDD isn't the norm in Extreme Programming.

Meyer went on to describe an initiative, currently underway, to develop a set of fundamental class libraries in the public domain.
Meyer cited the success of Linux and GNU C++ as products who's implementations are far superior to their commercial, proprietary complements as an endorsement of the approach.

 Otaku, Cedric's weblog: October 2003 Archives
Eiffel inventor, Bertrand Meyer, gave an interview on artima recently.
And the quasi non-existence of Eiffel in the industrial world since its inception (almost twenty years now) doesn't seem to bother Bertrand Meyer at all about the validity of the choices he made when he designed Eiffel.
Bertrand can rest assured: anyone who sees an Eiffel program for the first time will definitely not think "it's too good to be true".

In a recent discussion in ITworld.com's Interviews forum, Bertrand Meyer, an object-oriented software theorist and developer of the Eiffel programming language, discussed certain reservations he had with the extreme programming methodology.
Meyer, of course you are right when you question whether one can test a program before it has been written.
Bertrand Meyer: The problem of unit testing is what to test for.

 Critique of OOSC2 by Bertrand Meyer
Meyer seems to be looking at C and Fortran, which are rather wimpy representatives of flexible procedural programming.
Meyer seems to be risking a violation of his own Continuity Principle.
Meyer seems to be re-inventing many collection-oriented features from scratch rather than let the built-in abilities of the RDBMS handle them.

 Object-Oriented Software Construction, Second Edition / Bertrand Meyer
Meyer uses a simple, readable notation that evolves as object-oriented techniques are discussed.
Meyer makes several important observation that many experienced software engineers will agree with.
But Meyer's notation includes a complete, useful, easy to use and tightly integrated self-documentation system that actually makes the code simpler to create and easier to understand, rather than burden the programmer.

Static typing was there, for the same reason that static typing emerged in compilers in the first place: to take advantage of physical layer facilities provided by the hardware.
Because Meyer was constructing a compiler: he had to deal directly with the physical layer.

Meyer's rationale of his distaste for it, though, seems rather like fear and loathing.
Meyer's criticism of methods that provide access to state seems to be that they encourage complex coupling between elements of a system; if so, this would presumably apply to "component architectures" in general.
But Meyer seems to be saying that they shouldn't be used at all, because of their potential to be used badly.

The.NET Training Course by Bertrand Meyer: The first complete overview of.NET technology for decision-makers and technical professionals alike.
The components (part of Eiffel) are reusable software modules which cover some of the fundamental patterns of software development across application areas; the expertise will help readers not just to use these modules properly but also to develop their own libraries and make sure they are successful.
This book explains what it means for an environment to be truly object-oriented, not just by having a modern user interface but by applying to its full extent the concept of data abstraction.
