Object-Oriented Analysis and Design

Reviews / Votes

From the reviews:

"The authors present a comprehensive, well-organized excursion through object-oriented analysis and design. The volume is organized into three parts, each containing four chapters. . The book also has an excellent appendix on the essentials of Java. . many undergraduate faculty members will consider it to be a comprehensive reference to the object-oriented elements that will be important for all future software developers. Summing Up: Recommended. Students of all levels, researchers/faculty, and professional software developers." (J. Beidler, Choice, Vol. 49 (5), January, 2012)

"The book is clearly aimed at undergraduate students . it is useful for anyone wanting to learn OOAD, particularly practising or budding Java programmers. . Some useful examples are used throughout the book to illustrate the concepts . . There are also some very useful discussion, further reading and exercise sections at the end of each chapter. . A book on OOAD that is also an introductory text on Java, UML, design and architectural patterns and software architectures is a bargain not to be missed." (Kawal Banga, BCS, February, 2012)

"Dathan and Ramnath's book begins with an extensive introduction to object-oriented concepts . . This book is very well written and well manufactured. The discussion of design decisions and their resolution is especially good. . This book fills a niche in the range of texts covering object-oriented analysis and design: it is for a course teaching general object-oriented analysis and design techniques using Java that emphasizes patterns and is based on extensive case studies."
