Programming, an award-winning book on
object-oriented programming in the NeXTSTEP environment. The book was published by
Springer-Verlag and sold about 25,000 copies. Although out-of-print, it describes
some of the current Macintosh environment called Mac OS X, which is based on NeXTSTEP.
Apple acquired NeXT in late 1996 and used NeXTSTEP and its underlying Unix
operating system and its object-oriented environment as the basis for Mac OS X.
Notably, the World Wide Web
was invented in the NeXTSTEP Environment in 1991!
