Building Object Applications that Work
Building Object Applications that Work
CAD$101.95
Written by internationally-acclaimed trainer and developer Scott Ambler, this book is a must-have resource for designers, programmers and testers of today's OO applications. The author takes you through the entire process of building object applications, from analyzing the project, to designing a user-friendly interface, to testing your approaches to make sure your applications work properly. Building Object Applications That Work includes sections on: how to use the Unified Modeling Language effectively; analysis, so you know what you need to build; design techniques, so that you know how you are going to build your application; collecting the right metrics to improve your development approach; applying OO patterns to improve the quality of your applications; creating applications for stand-alone, client/server and distributed environments; using both relational and object-oriented databases to make your objects persistent; and architecting your applications so they are maintainable and extensible.
- Practical how-to for project managers and programmers
- Contains modeling notation in the Unified Modeling Language (UML) with a transition from Ambler Notation to UML
- Features appendices containing notation summary and a detailed visual glossary
Reviews & endorsements
"...Scott Ambler's book delivers exactly what it promises- a robust look into building object applications. This is no small feat given the wide range of object-oriented development. Ambler's willingness to depart from a UML-only viewpoint and to advocate practical techniques like CRC modeling or data modeling provides a bridge from classic CASE methods to object-oriented design, It also has the strong feel of practical object-oriented application building experience. Its common thrust is an elaboration of theory into usable practices for developing robust object-oriented systems." Software Development
