This practical book tells readers how to actually build object-oriented models using UML notation, and how to implement these models using Java. The authors introduce all of the basic fundamentals necessary to start applying and understanding the object-oriented paradigm without having to be an expert in computer science or advanced mathematics. It can help the reader to make the right decisions to meet their individual business needs. Using cases, recommended approach scenarios, and examples, this clearly-written book covers a multitude of topics: managing complexity, principles of Object-Orientation, specification models, current techniques, behaviors, relationships, rules, design, Java background and fundamentals, multi-tasking, JAR files, security, Swing Applets, class and interface, internationalization, and implementing generalization and specialization. For professional software analysts and developers who work on large systems, and others in the field of computer science.
If you're a busy professional software analyst or developer working on large systems, and you do not have the time to take a class, you can get up to speed on object-oriented (OO) technology using Unified Modeling Language and Java with this book. It is a self-teaching guide, written by two industry leaders, that helps you to understand the differences between OO analysis, OO design, and OO programming.
