In the Second Edition of his award-winning book, Grady Booch draws upon the rich and varied results of the hundreds of projects which have applied the notation and method presented in the First Edition to offer improved methods for object development-including a unified notation. The winner of the Jolt Cola book award in both editions, Object-Oriented Analysis and Design with Applications has been a major force in moving object technology into the mainstream of software development. With numerous examples, now implemented in C++, the Second Edition illustrates essential concepts, explains the method, and shows successful applications in a variety of fields. It also offers pragmatic advice on a variety of issues-including classification, implementation strategies, and cost-effective project management.

Object Oriented Analysis and Design / Patterns  [PTG: AW PROFESSIONAL]   (Computer Science)

Grady Booch, is the Chief Scientist at Rational Software Corporation and developer of the Booch Method of object-oriented analysis and design. He is also co-developer of the Unified Modeling Language (UML). Widely recognized for these and many contributions in the field, he is a popular speaker at technology conferences around the world. Booch has twice received Software Development magazine's coveted Jolt-Cola Product Excellence Award for his seminal text, Object-Oriented Analysis and Design with Applications.

The first edition of Object-Oriented Design with Applications was instrumental in making object-oriented technology a practical reality--hundreds of projects applied Booch's notation and process to complex problems in diverse domains. In this eagerly-awaited new edition, Grady Booch draws upon the rich and varied results of these projects to offer improved methods for object development and a new, unified notation. With numerous examples, all of which are now implemented in C++, Booch illustrates essential concepts, explains the method, and shows successful applications in a variety of fields. You'll also find pragmatic advice on a host of issues including classification, implementation strategies, and cost-effective project management.

• Presents a new, unified notation that incorporates the best ideas from Booch's notation and other widely-used methods
• Uses C++, rapidly emerging as a standard programming language for object development, in all programming examples and applications
• Includes new examples of real world projects, including a client/server architecture and an application framework
• Distinguishes between good and bad object-oriented analysis and design and shows how to evaluate architectural tradeoffs to manage complexity
• Includes extensive new detail on the process and pragmatics of object-oriented analysis and design

This is the essential reference for anyone who implements or manages object technologies, or who wishes to begin exploration of this important new paradigm.
