Naked Objects, by Richard Pawson and Robert Matthews
This book was published by Wiley in 2002. At the time of publication, it was acclaimed both for the radical ideas it conveyed and for the (full colour) design of the book. However, the book was written for Naked Objects 1.0, and so is now very out of date from a technical perspective. The authors hope to produce a new book at some future stage. Meantime, the full content of the book is made available here for historical reference purposes only. For more up-to-date information about Naked Objects please visit the www.nakedobjects.org
