Unix Shell Objects

A UNIX Shell Object is a unique piece of code that is written with the UNIX Shell using modern object-oriented approaches that make the code more powerful and easier to use over a network or the Web. The techniques in this book are original, and programmers can thrive as they make their Shell scripts more useful and powerful. The CD-ROM contains code from the book, GNU CygWin32 tools, and the Java Developer's Kit. Topics include: The Nature of Object-Oriented Programming; The Shell as a User and Programming; The Syntax of Writing Classes; Using Shell Objects; Object Communication. The subsequent chapter discussions feature Java, networking components, sockets, API, and distributed objects. Topics include: Using Java from the Shell; Encapsulating the Network with Components; Distributed Objects; Designing an Object-Oriented System; Creating a Shell-Based Distributed Application; Using Shell Objects with CGI; Connecting from the Web.
