Abstract
This paper is an introduction to object oriented programming. The object oriented approach is very powerful and not inherently difficult, but most programmers find a relatively high threshold in learning it. Thus, this paper will attempt to convey the concepts with examples rather than explain the formal theory.

The Sketchpad system makes it possible for a man and a computer to converse rapidly through the medium of line drawings, and opens up a new area of man-machine communication.
IEEE Transactions on Software EngineeringAn Introduction to the Construction and Verification of Alphard Programs
325 Citations1976Wm. A. Wulf, Ralph L. London +1 more
This paper introduces Alphard by developing and verifying a data structure definition and a program that uses it and shows how each language construct contributes to the development of the abstraction and discusses the way the language design and the verification methodology were tailored to each other.
The Smalltalk-76 programming system design and implementation

This paper describes a programming system based on the metaphor of communicating objects which provides flexibility, modularity and compactness, and a corresponding virtual memory is described which offers dense utilization of resident space.
