Review
"From a best selling author and expert–a soon–to–be classic on application development, representing a significant change of focus in software engineering, the business rule approach to application development benefits all decision makers." (Compbookreview.com, 11/01)

Product Description
From a bestselling author and expert––a soon–to–be classic on application development
Representing a significant change of focus in software engineering, the business rule approach to application development benefits all decision makers. Managers looking to take advantage of new opportunities will turn to business rules to implement change. IT has already learned the benefits of separating data by processing and managing data as an independent component of systems. A rules–extended development approach does exactly the same thing for business rules: by reducing the amount of code that needs to be written, it shortens the time necessary to implement change. Bestselling author Barbara von Halle (The Handbook of Relational Database Design from Addison Wesley) presents the first book to show in practical, real–world terms how to build applications using business rule concepts and techniques. This authoritative guide will give readers:
o Complete guidance for system designers and database managers
o The motivation for using the business rule approach
o Techniques for discovering and managing rules
o Guidance on how to conduct rule analysis
o Steps for designing the implementation options of the rules, as well as designing workflow and database components

5.0 out of 5 stars Thumbed, dog eared and cherished, 13 Sep 2007
This is a great book. It sits by my desk wherever I'm working; independent of client I find it useful.

It sells itself short by implying it's only relevant for projects following a business rules approach; it's applicable for pretty much any IS project.

The Chapter on Scoping is particularly good. So many approaches talk about the need for scoping, and have varying recommendations for achieving it. The method in this book works. It also gets to precision early, eschewing the "it's early so it can be woolly" misconception.

That sets a tone for the rest of the book which is very much hands on 'here's how to do it'. It's not a book to read for background, nor a particularly easy cover to cover read (If you want that look at Morgan or Ross). But as a practical, solid, detailed reference there are few to beat it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic on using business rules to build information systems, 6 Jul 2007
By James Taylor "Enterprise Decision Management ... (Palo Alto, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is one of the classics on developing information systems with a business rules approach. Not only does the book give a good overview of the key concepts in business rules, it also lays out the core tasks and techniques for an actual methodology to develop rules-based systems. Barbara brings great experience in database design and other core application development techniques and she weaves the unique tasks and issues of a business rules approach right in. Anyone used to a "traditional" application development approach will find plenty of reference points so they don't get lost and yet all the keys they need to succeed with a need approach based on business rules.

The references to business rules management systems are a little out of date as you would expect given the book is a few years old but the core advice remains as good today as it was then. Although Barb continues to develop her ideas and write on business rules, this book is an excellent reference for anyone planning business rules projects, conducting them or interested in how to start using them. Highly recommended.
