Summary

This book is an introduction object-oriented analysis and design for developers with little OO experience. It shows how to use UML and apply it in object-orientated software development. Object Technology Series Are you a software developer or project manager looking to exploit the power of object technology in your development process for the first time? Do you need a practical, example-driven introduction to object-oriented analysis and design? If so, look no further. This book explains the benefits of using the object-oriented approach for software development as well as providing a state-of-the-art account of the technology available. Employing numerous real-life examples to illustrate its application, the use of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) in object-oriented analysis and design is explained systematically by an experienced practitioner. The first part of the book takes the reader step-by-step through the development process using one continuous example to show how each principle and concept is applied in practice. The second part explains the basics of UML in detail, with individual examples. Numerous cross-references between the two parts mean that readers can follow the software development example, learning the appropriate features of UML as they become relevant. For more advanced readers, the book may be treated as a tutorial on the application of UML.
