Book Description This book gathers together and synthesizes all that is best and correct in object-oriented technology — emphasizing such areas as CASE tools, reuse, project management, metrics, configuration. Explains why some organizations are consciously, deliberately choosing not to implement OO software methodologies — at least, for the time being; discusses a number of “management” issues associated with the OO paradigm; considers the broad area of object-oriented analysis (OOA); explores object-oriented design (OOD); explains CASE technology for OO methodologies; and features a full section on how to get started with OOP. For programmers interested in OO technology. | ||

Good high-level overview This book presents a general overview of OO design. As the back cover says, it is not aimed at the pure developer but more at the manager or systems-level designer/team leader. It would also make a good textbook for an "Introductory to OO design" class. Two example situations are detailed - one a real-time system and the other a typical data-oriented system. While the analysis of each is thorough and well detailed, I think Mr. Yourdon wasted time by comparing different notational conventions. Overall I liked the book, but I felt that more detail could have been included without alienating the intended high-level audience. | ||
