SIGS: Managing Object Technology
4 total works
With his new book, More Process Patterns, Scott Ambler picks up where Process Patterns left off. In this book, the author presents process patterns for the second half of the development lifecycle. He covers the Deliver phase and the Maintain and Support phase of large-scale, object-oriented system development. Each presented pattern is based upon proven, real-world techniques and is geared toward medium to large-size organizations who need to develop software internally to support their main line of business. The book covers major management issues, such as people and risk management, and quality assurance. Developers and project managers who have just taken their first OO development course will find this book essential. It takes the true needs of software development and delivery into consideration, including cross-project, maintenance, operations, and support issues. This book uses the Unified Modeling Language (UML).
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.
The Object Primer is the ultimate introductory text on object-oriented (OO) technology. By reading this book, you'll gain a solid understanding of object-oriented concepts and object-oriented analysis techniques. Written by a developer for developers, this book will introduce you to object-oriented design in the context of class modeling. It begins with a description of why developers and their organizations want to take advantage of the object-oriented approach, then moves to issues like CRC cards, use cases, and class modeling. It puts the entire OO development process into perspective, presenting both the serial and iterative development strategies. It includes easy-to-follow notations and provides 'cheat-sheets' references for easy accessibility to commonly used information. It includes a complete glossary of terms.
Written by one of the best known object-oriented practitioners in the business, Process Patterns is based on proven, real-world techniques. Scott Ambler shows readers how to deliver successfully large-scale applications using object technology, and he carefully describes how one develops applications that are truly easy to maintain and to enhance. He shows how such projects can be maintained, and points out what is necessary to ensure that one's development efforts are of the best quality. The object-oriented software process (OOSP) that he presents is geared toward medium to large-size organizations who need to develop software internally to support their main line of business. Developers and project managers who have just taken their first OO development course will find this book essential. It describes the only OOSP to take the true needs of development into consideration, including cross-project maintenance operations, and support issues. This book uses the Unified Modeling Language (UML).
