Microsoft's leading application development frameworks, Windows Presentation Foundation and Silverlight, provide extraordinary expressive potential. It's not always easy, though, to turn visual concepts into working code. Expression Blend, a powerful design tool from Microsoft, translates what you see on the design surface into the declarative markup language XAML, dramatically increasing productivity for anyone building User Interfaces for .NET applications. "Expression Blend in Action" is a un...
Software Engineering with Sams Teach Yourself UML in 24 Hours
by Ian Sommerville and Joseph Schmuller
OCL complements the UML by providing a language for formally expressing the constraints of a model, a facility useful in user models as well as in the definition of the UML itself. Jos and Anneke provide a comprehensive and much-needed reference to this formalism.--Grady Booch, Ivar Jacobson, James Rumbaugh The Object Constraint Language (OCL) is a new notational language, a subset of the industry standard Unified Modeling Language, that allows software developers to write constraints over objec...
Visual Modeling with IBM Rational Software Architect and UML
by Terry Quatrani and Jim Palistrant
This new edition of the popular book retains the practical approach to teaching visual modeling techniques and the industry standard Unified Modeling Language. Authors Terry Quatrani, the UML Evangelist and Jim Palistrant, the J2EE and SOA Evangelist, both from IBM Rational Software, still use the simplified case study (a course registration system for a fictional university) that has taught thousands of readers how to analyze and design an application using UML, and how to implement the applica...
Interaction Flow Modeling Language (The MK/OMG Press)
by Marco Brambilla and Piero Fraternali
Interaction Flow Modeling Language describes how to apply model-driven techniques to the problem of designing the front end of software applications, i.e., the user interaction. The book introduces the reader to the novel OMG standard Interaction Flow Modeling Language (IFML). Authors Marco Brambilla and Piero Fraternali are authors of the IFML standard and wrote this book to explain the main concepts of the language. They effectively illustrate how IFML can be applied in practice to the specifi...
If you want to learn how to program, working with Python is an excellent way to start. This hands-on guide takes you through the language a step at a time, beginning with basic programming concepts before moving on to functions, recursion, data structures, and object-oriented design. This second edition and its supporting code have been updated for Python 3. Through exercises in each chapter, you'll try out programming concepts as you learn them. Think Python is ideal for students at the high sc...

Topological UML Modeling (Computer Science Reviews and Trends)
by Janis Osis and Uldis Donins
Topological UML Modeling: An Improved Approach for Domain Modeling and Software Development presents a specification for Topological UML® that combines the formalism of the Topological Functioning Model (TFM) mathematical topology with a specified software analysis and design method. The analysis of problem domain and design of desired solutions within software development processes has a major impact on the achieved result – developed software. While there are many tools and different techni...

Using a step by step case study to illustrate the concepts and topics in each chapter, this book emphasi...
Think Python is an introduction to Python programming for students with no programming experience. It starts with the most basic concepts of programming, and is carefully designed to define all terms when they are first used and to develop each new concept in a logical progression. Larger pieces, like recursion and object-oriented programming are divided into a sequence of smaller steps and introduced over the course of several chapters.
Systems Analysis and Design with UML Version 2.0, 5e Evaluation Copy
by Alan Dennis, Barbara Wixom, and David Tegarden
Up until a few years ago there were many different modelling languages available to software developers. However, this vast array of choice only served to hinder communication and as a result the Unified Modelling Language (UML) was born. Although the UML has its roots firmly in the software world, the benefits of adopting a standard visual notation have been recognised in many other fields, not least of which is the field of systems engineering. This book concentrates on systems-based applicati...
The Unified Modeling Language User Guide (Addison-Wesley Object Technology)
by Grady Booch, James Rumbaugh, and Ivar Jacobson
Just as architects and musicians need architectural drawings or music scores to be written using standard notations that everyone agrees on and understands, developers need a single, common, widely usable modeling language for the development of software systems. The UML has been proposed as this standard and has received the support of academic and industry heavyweights. The Unified Modeling Language User Guide is the first of three definitive UML works written by the creators of UML, Grady Bo...
