A must for any serious C++ programmer This is the essence of object oriented analysis, encompassing all aspects of the topic. I wholeheartedly recommend it to programmers of all levels. | ||
A Classic This book is one of the classics on the subject. Coad and Yourdon have been among the pioneers on OO methodologies, and their one is a well respected account. What they provide is a complete methodology that covers all the software engineering phases, from analysis (with this book) to implementation (their OOP book). You'll find that specialized magazines routinely presents articles that compares various methodologies. In each of them you'll always find Coad-Yourdon one. For this reason, despite the book is a bit old-dated, it worths a read and, indeed, it can be easily red. You'll gain a better understanding of the modern OO literature, and some insights that are timeless. | ||
Good book to start with I've used it for a couple of years in a three-day introductory courses about OOA/D and the 'students' found it easy to learn. It's good because it softly introduces to the concepts of object orientation keeping in mind the fact that many people worked for years in a 'functional' way. Also good because you can use it every day while making analysis. In fact it's a manual. The two examples (one about an airline system and another about vehicle categorization) are developed together with the various aspects of the methodology and this helps to understand how to apply it. It's good also because it clearly separates analysis from design concerns. Of course now shows its age, but can be a good introductory book. | ||
Great book This is one of my favorite books. It was the first book that ever really explained OO in an understandable and compelling way! Peter Coad offers an excellent, real world approach to modelling using Object Oriented Analysis. This book optimally fits in with the rest of the series (OOA & OOP) but serves as a stand-alone as well. The book serves as an excellent resource for Software engineers | ||
