Product Description
John Deacon’s in-depth, highly pragmatic approach to object-oriented analysis and design, demonstrates how to lay the foundations for developing the best possible software. Students will learn how to ensure that analysis and design remain focused and productive. By working through the book, they will gain a solid working knowledge of best practices in software development.
The focus of the text is on typical development projects and technologies, showing exactly what the different development activities are, and emphasising what they should and should not be trying to accomplish.
This fresh, comprehensive examination of object-oriented analysis and design in the context of today’s systems and technologies will be a valuable addition to the bookshelves of undergraduates and graduates on systems analysis and design courses.
From the Inside Flap
John Deacon's "Object-Oriented Analysis and Design" re-examines what we require of analysis when the target is object technology and when we are not just computerizing an existing clerical system. It also presents a comprehensive coverage of modern, best practices for object-oriented design; not only covering well-known topics but including many things often known only to folklore, newsgroups or FAQs.
From the Back Cover
Are you looking for a refreshing and clear perspective on developing software with object technology? Would you like an explicit differentiation of requirements, analysis and design? Do you want to be able to use the UML with maximum effectiveness? If so, this book is for you.
John Deacon takes an in-depth, highly pragmatic approach, which demonstrates how to lay the foundations for developing the best possible software. He shows the reader how to ensure that the analysis and design remain focused and productive, and presents everything needed to gain a solid, working knowledge of best practices in software development.
Object-Oriented Analysis and Design is modern, thorough and easy to understand, and is ideal for undergraduate and postgraduate courses on systems development. With its emphasis on developing typical systems in widely-used object technologies, it is also a text that no professional should be without.
