This is an invitation to join us at Object Currents and view, engage and participate in new object-oriented technology using the latest form of information technology. Object Currents is a complete new free journal with Feature Articles, Columns, and Departments, along with 7 to 10 *new* articles from SIGS' Journals. Object Currents' World Class Columnists: Watts Humphrey: SEI Process Director, CMM & PSP Inventor Bertrand Meyer: Eiffel, OO Design and Software Engineering Francois Bancilhon: President, O2 Technology, Leading ODBMS Expert Michael Jesse Chonoles: Chief of Methodology, Advanced Concepts Center of Lockheed Martin David Shang: OO Programming Language Designer, Motorola Labs Michael Spertus: President, Geodesic Systems, Program Automation Interviews: January: Grady Booch February: James Rumbaugh March: Ivar Jacobson Newsgroup Dialog: February: Robert Martin Week in OT: Jane Grau 1/1, 1/8, 1/15 Feature Articles: Jan 96 Understanding Objects by Understanding Variables and Functions Dr. Stefano A.

Departments: Several more including Code Watch and Question + Answer. Best new articles from all of SIGS January and February 1996 issues including: C++ Report, JOOP, Object Magazine, ROAD, Smalltalk Report, X Journal, Object Expert, Objeck Spectrum, Java Report, ... I've concluded our premiere January issue was a resounding success. Thanks to our readership for patronage, praise, and feedback. Please keep visiting or give it a try soon. Please also feel free to inform friends and colleagues of this free new medium. Object Currents' unique hypertext media provides for advances over earlier journals - links to home pages, sites, databases and information servers, interaction, animation, graphics, code retrieval and execution, expanded pages, video, virtual reality and chat sessions. While all of these may not have appeared in the first issue, they will appear in the future. For instance, Dr. Cerri's first article's interaction and code execution didn't make it into the January issue but will be backpatched soon. It is exemplary of an improved medium, with code examples interpreted and executed in real-time, displaying results and verifying correctness. Object Currents Contents: Object Currents Articles: 2 to 4 per issue. Columns: Several columns will appear from regular columnists on important topics. SIGS articles: 7 to 10 articles from current SIGS Publications per issue (JOOP, ROAD, Obj Mag., C++ Rpt, etc.) Newsgroup Dialog: Extrapolated subjects with commentary. Fun and Games: Puzzles to be picked up from the C++ Report and the net (Obfs. C++). Questionnaire: W/compiled results from last issue. SIGS Bookshelf: Book reviews and summary. Movers & Shakers: Interview or profile of object industry VIPs. Code Watch: Source code, from both SIGS journals and elsewhere, such as on the net. Editorial Comments: By both authors and readers are encouraged. This week in OT: Prepared by SIGS News Editor. Check it out!
