Developing Applications with Visual Basic and UML (Addison-Wesley Object Technology) (Paperback)

Product Description
An essential resource for Visual Basic (VB) programmers who want to develop applications that are both resilient and robust, Developing Applications with Visual Basic and UML describes a proven development process for designing and implementing object-oriented client/server applications in VB using the Unified Modeling Language (UML). Guided by his own experiences as a developer applying UML and VB, the author provides clear explanations of the fundamentals of UML while also examining and illustrating the often misrepresented object-oriented properties of Visual Basic. In addition, the book incorporates in-depth information on developing VB applications utilizing DNA concepts, incorporating technologies such as DCOM and MTS, and integrating Web tools such as ASP, VB Script, and JavaScript to Internet-enable Visual Basic applications. A significant case study runs throughout the book, leading the reader through the lifecycle of a projectofrom requirements analysis to modeling and prototyping through finalizing the architecture and generating code. Through this study, the author demonstrates the design benefits of UML and shows how to translate a UML specification into Visual Basic code. The author includes detailed coverage of the following topics: *Uncovering the events for which an application must be responsible *Modeling use cases with UML *Using Rational Rose to manage UML artifacts *Translating the object-based UML class diagram to a relational design supported by SQL Server or Oracle *Transitioning from classes and use cases to the UML's dynamic models, the sequence and collaboration diagrams *Mapping UML to Visual Basic deliverables *Generating code from the UML class diagram *Distributed technology solutions based on Distributed Internet Architecture (DNA) using Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) and Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) *Web-enabling VB applications using Active Server Pages (ASP), VBScript, JavaScript, and Microsoft's Visual InterDev With the information and expert techniques presented in this book, readers can significantly enhance their Visual Basic programming skills as well as their overall understanding of how an effective development process impacts the quality of the final application. 0201615797B04062001

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   10 of 10 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars The best guide to UML in real life, 3 May 2000 By A Customer This is actually one of the best books I have read. It is a very practical guide. Most of the UML books I have read are too theoretical. There is an awful lot to UML, I want to know what bits give me the most benefit and why, and how I use them in practical terms. Best of all is that the description of the work done fits neatly into an overall methodology with a project plan to implement it. The title suggests it is VB oriented. There is a fair amount of VB in the later sections but your code could just as easily be C++ or Delphi or anything COM-enabled as the prociples remain identical. It is biased to a Microsoft solution, but the modelling aspect could equally apply to say a UNIX solution. But even without these technical aspects it would still be worth reading for the description of methodology processes with UML. So suitable for project managers, analysts and coders Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
