Product Description

Review

"...Scott Ambler's book delivers exactly what it promises- a robust look into building object applications. This is no small feat given the wide range of object-oriented development. Ambler's willingness to depart from a UML-only viewpoint and to advocate practical techniques like CRC modeling or data modeling provides a bridge from classic CASE methods to object-oriented design, It also has the strong feel of practical object-oriented application building experience. Its common thrust is an elaboration of theory into usable practices for developing robust object-oriented systems." Software Development

Product Description

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

1.0 out of 5 stars Covers a lot of ground, but very supercifially, 13 Jan 1999

By A Customer

This is a book that covers a great deal of OO - design, implementation, use of patterns, metrics, languages. He also defines a new notation, which is a total waste of time and effort. There are a lot of Star Trek references which is either fun or immensely irritating, depending on your point of view.

The lack of depth on this book limits it's value - look elsewhere. (Try Object-oriented Software Construction by Bertrand Meyer - heavy going, but solid stuff.)

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Reference for transition from OOP to OOA/OOD, 11 Dec 1998

By A Customer

This is good book book for someone that already does some object oriented programming and would like to learn the whole OO process. The author does a good job but the graphics came out pretty horrible, you can barely read them.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good but flawed overview, 4 Oct 1998

By A Customer

Ambler's book contains a great deal of helpful information about the entire process of object-oriented software development, much of which I will put to good use. But the typography of the sidebars (definitions and tips) is unreadable, figures are often amateurish in appearance and sometimes superfluous, the information on Java is outdated, and the author's bias toward Smalltalk (almost all of the examples are written in it) is somewhat annoying.
