About this Item

This is a new edition of this pack which covers the three leading object modelling notations, Coad, OMT and the new Unified (Booch-Rumbaugh) methodology. It presents 177 state-of-the-art strategies and 31 patterns for object model development. The new edition includes 29 new strategies which include: using feature milestones to deliver results more quickly; extracting useful content from data models; using patterns to discover new features, separating definition from usage; when to use, or not use, inheritance; how to decide whether you need an attribute or something more; and why you should nearly always ask for more than a data value.

About this title

Synopsis

This new edition of a best-seller gives object programmers the latest information on getting faster, better results with strategies and templates. This book delivers up-to-the-minute guidance on object modeling, from three of the world's leading experts. This book presents 177 strategies and 31 patterns (templates) for achieving the best possible results with object modeling in all three leading methodologies: Coad, OMT and Unified.

From the Publisher

Object programmers can now learn how to get faster results using the strategies and patterns (templates) uncovered in this book. Without them, however, the much-needed expertise is only acquired by trail-and- error. Using sufficiently detailed, real-life examples, this book/disk package shows how to build effective object models--using applications that occur in nearly every industry. Presents six chapter- length application examples of how effective, real-life object-models are build--e.g., point-of-sale, warehousing, order-processing, data acquisition and control, and sensors and diverters. Each application reveals specific "how-to" strategies (101 total) and patterns (22 total) that will help readers develop an intuitive feel for building object models. The diskette features an on-line verison of the strategies and patterns summary (in the form of a Windows help file); as well as C++ course files, illustrating a reasonable (but not the only way) to implement each pattern.
