	Gustave Eiffel
		His outstanding career as a constructor was marked by work on the Porto viaduct over the river Douro in 1876, the Garabit viaduct in 1884, Pest railway station in Hungary, the dome of the Nice observatory, and the ingenious structure of the Statue of Liberty.
		Equally outstanding are certain other structures in which the pure inventiveness of Eiffel's company was allowed free rein, such as the "portable" bridges sold around the world in "kits", the ingenious structure of the Statue of Liberty in New York, and of course the Eiffel Tower itself.
		In 1887 Eiffel agreed to build the locks of the Panama canal, an immense undertaking badly managed by Ferdinand De Lesseps, which ended in the biggest financial scandal of the century.

	Gustave Eiffel Alexander
		Gustave-Alexandre Eiffel (nato a Digione il 15 dicembre 1832 e morto a Parigi il 28 dicembre 1923), noto ingegnere e costruttore francese, reso famoso dalla realizzazione della torre parigina che prese il suo nome, Eiffel.
		Eiffel si occupò della supervisione dei lavori e il grande lavoro ottenuto lo stimolò nel 1866 a fondare una società, che acuisitì a breve grande fama riguardo la sua tecnica costruttiva, che impiegava avveniristiche strutture metalliche.
		Gustave Eiffel non era mosso solo da scopi commerciali; il suo lavoro univa infatti un'impareggiabile esecuzione a un design armonioso; un esempio dell'unione di queste due caratteristiche è testimoniato dal viadotto di Garabit, in Francia, che fu, all'epoca, il ponte più alto del mondo.

	Eiffel in a nutshell
		With Eiffel you can quickly produce a basic version of a system, reliable and efficient, put it into users' hands early (while the competition is still trying to produce a "prototype"), and come up with new releases rapidly, all the time maintaining the standards of robustness that are the hallmark of the approach.
		Eiffel was designed from day one to be the vehicle for the new software industry, based on the reuse of high-quality components -- rather than on everyone reinventing the wheel all the time.
		Eiffel recognition was given a large boost by the appearance in 1988 of the book Object-Oriented Software Construction by Bertrand Meyer, which quickly became the best-selling title in the field and was translated into eight foreign languages; the book used Eiffel as the natural vehicle to introduce concepts of object technology and Design by Contract.
