If you are a project manager, or a member of a project team incorporating object-oriented technology into a software development project, you need to read this book. Filled with advice distilled from the authors' experience in the creation and use of object-oriented technology, Succeeding with Objects is an invaluable guide to the decision processes inherent in successful software development using object-oriented technology. The focus of the book is on you - the developer, project manager, or IS executive. It assumes that you want to apply object-oriented technology to real-world problems and to integrate this technology into the software development culture of your organization successfully. Case studies of object-oriented software projects and the direct personal experience of the authors from the basis for the decision frameworks presented. Using these frameworks, you will be able to develop your own coherent and successful management plan, tailored to your organization. Succeeding with Objects provides practical advice on how to incorporate object-oriented technology in software development projects based upon experience in real-life projects; covers all aspects of process models, project planning and control, software development environments, measurement, training, and systematic reuse and introduces ten decision frameworks used to develop a project management strategy, leveraged by object-oriented technology.

This book investigates the nature of generalization in language and examines how language is known by adults and acquired by children. It looks at how and why constructions are learned, the relation between their forms and functions, and how cross-linguistic and language-internal generalizations about them can be explained. Constructions at Work is divided into three parts: in the first Professor Goldberg provides an overview of constructionist approaches, including the constructionist approach to argument structure, and argues for a usage-based model of grammar. In Part II she addresses issues concerning how generalizations are constrained and constructional generalizations are learned. In Part III the author shows that a combination of function and processing accounts for a wide range of language-internal and cross-linguistic generalizations. She then considers the degree to which the function of constructions explains their distribution and examines cross-linguistic tendencies in argument realization. She demonstrates that pragmatic and cognitive processes account for the data without appeal to stipulations that are language-specific. This book is an important contribution to the study of how language operates in the mind and in the world and how these operations relate. It is of central interest for scholars and graduate-level students in all branches of theoretical linguistics and psycholinguistics. It will also appeal to cognitive scientists and philosophers concerned with language and its acquisition.

Goldberg was born on July 7, 1945, in Cleveland, Ohio, United States.
Goldberg received her bachelor's degree in mathematics at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, and a master's degree in information science from the University of Chicago. She received her PhD in information science from the University of Chicago in 1973.
Goldberg started her career working as a research associate at Stanford University. In 1973 she began working at PARC as a laboratory and research assistant, and eventually became manager of the System Concepts Laboratory. She served as president of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) from 1984 to 1986.
In 1988, Goldberg left PARC to co-found ParcPlace Systems, a company that created development tools for Smalltalk-based applications. She served as ParcPlace Systems's chairwoman and CEO until its 1995 merger with Digitalk.
Adele co-founded, and is currently working at Neometron, Inc. an Internet support provider in 1999, of Palo Alto, California. She works at Bullitics. At the same time, she continues to pursue her interest in education, formulating computer science courses at community colleges in the United States and at schools abroad. In the same vein, she is a board member and adviser at Cognito Learning Media, a provider of multimedia software for science education. She was also a member of scientific advisory board at German National Research Centers.
Many of the concepts developed by Goldberg and her team at PARC became the basis for graphically based user interfaces, replacing the earlier command line based systems. Apple eventually used many of the ideas in the Alto and their implementations as the basis for their Apple Macintosh desktop environment.
The Computer History Museum houses a collection of Goldberg's working documents, reports, publications and videotapes related to her work on the development of Smalltalk.
