Summary

Book and CD-ROM. Iterative UML Development Using Visual C++ 6.0 is a hands-on professional book on iteratively developing object-oriented systems for business solutions using the industry standard Unified Modelling Language (UML). The authors completely demonstrate their approach using a business example, beginning with a problem assessment and taking it all the way to implementation with all supporting deliverables, including the corresponding Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 code.
