Important work but somewhat confusing and now outdated ... 18 Feb 1999

By A Customer

Format:Hardcover

Although this book is seminal in as much as it presents use-cases, it is definitely not the clearest introduction to OO. It does however present Jacobson's OOSE methodology (which is a simplified version of the Objectory methodology). The book is due for an update - and I believe one has been in the pipeline for a while. However, with the release of UML and the new Rational methodology, it is perhaps best left as is.

A classic text on OO Analysis and Design 19 May 1997

By A Customer

Format:Hardcover

Jacobson's use case approach has had a profound impact on the field of object oriented analysis and design. Use cases represent a powerful means of capturing system requirements and driving the development of object-oriented software. Jacobson avoids software "dogma" and presents a comprehensive, powerful and practical process for OO software development. If you do any work in OO development, you need this book.

Some serious flaws in the process.

The proof of the book is in actually using the methods described and having worked on a couple of projects that have used this book (and Iconix process) as their bible, I've found... Read more

Couldn't get very far

I read 50 pages without ever seeing the word 'object' and gave up. I don't know why people think this is such a great book, it is abstract and impenatrable. Read more

One of the best Computer Science Book I read.

The book is very clear and, at the same time, very deep and sharp.
