Description
Written by internationally acclaimed trainer and developer Scott Ambler, this book is a must-have resource for designers, programmers and testers of today's OO applications. The author takes you through the entire process of building object applications, from analyzing the project (so you know what you need to build), to designing a user-friendly interface, to testing your approaches to make sure your applications work properly. Building Object Applications That Work includes sections on: * how to use the Unified Modeling Language effectively * analysis, so you know what you need to build * design techniques, so that you know how you are going to build your application * collecting the right metrics to improve your development approach * applying OO patterns to improve the quality of your applications * creating applications for stand-alone, client/server and distributed environments * using both relational and object-oriented databases to make your objects persistent * architecting your applications so they are maintainable and extensible.
Reviews / Votes
"...Scott Ambler's book delivers exactly what it promises- a robust look into building object applications. This is no small feat given the wide range of object-oriented development. Ambler's willingness to depart from a UML-only viewpoint and to advocate practical techniques like CRC modeling or data modeling provides a bridge from classic CASE methods to object-oriented design, It also has the strong feel of practical object-oriented application building experience. Its common thrust is an elaboration of theory into usable practices for developing robust object-oriented systems." Software DevelopmentMore details
