Synopsis

Large business organizations have adopted object technology as a way of creating a pathway between legacy data stored on mainframes and the desktop user who needs it. The software developer or the software engineer is the person who builds this pathway using object technologies like C++ and Java. This is the book that shows the software developer or the software engineer how to do it.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Learn to use object technology to make lucrative, fast-growing business systems a reality. When organizations fail to plan adequately for systems integration, IS specialists are left to pick up the pieces as best they can. Among the various methods of integrating legacy systems under a single, more manageable architecture, one approach clearly excels: object technology. That's because it virtually guarantees easy data access, accuracy and consistency, cost-effectiveness, and the crucial ability to adapt to changing business needs. But how do you make the leap from the theory of objects to their real-world application in the information systems environment? This pehnomenal guide has many of the answers. Aimed at IS managers and C, C++, and Java programmers, it provides a practical and reliable stepping stone that starts with a business process focus and moves logically into the technical world of design and programming. Step by step, under the wing of one of the industry's best teachers, you'll master the use of object concepts and emerging industry standards to model your organization's databases and processes. More than any other resource of its kind, this guide will show you how to: define the scope of a system as a set of business events; derive an information model from business event facts; build models for database development; classify user interface objects; transform logical models to physical models; design for distributed systems; master testing, metrics, and quality assurance; use patterns to develop systems; understand the key uses of CORBRA and the OMG Interface Definition Language in a high-quality object-oriented information system.
