Abstract

Experience with object-oriented systems can be provided using the powerful Macintosh™ environment. Adding to and modifying the MacApp™ application framework using ObjectPascal provides a learning-by-example solution to the difficulty of teaching Object Oriented Programming and Design,

Advanced training and funding for high-end hardware, additional tools and better documentation are the prime requisites. The Mac tools need to be more efficient, user-friendly and well-documented before they can be used widely by software engineering students. These difficulties will likely be overcome, making the Macintosh environment a useful classroom tool to prepare students to meet the demands of future software technology.
