Applying UML and Patterns

Description

The mastery of object-oriented analysis and design (OOA/D) principles and concepts is critical for anyone seeking to create robust and maintainable object systems.

This third edition presents a well-defined roadmap so the reader can move along a step-by-step process from requirements gathering all the way to code generation. The author teaches the skill of OOAD using the latest version of the industry standard modeling language (UML 2.0). He also allows the reader to learn and apply the popular concept of design patterns and therefore helps readers accelerate their mastery of analysis and design. The author retains his thorough treatment of a single case study to help readers gain a big picture of successful software development. Once again this book delivers and furthers Craig Larman’s name among software engineering luminaries.

Author Description

Craig Larman is the co-creator of LeSS (Large-Scale Scrum), and helps groups apply the LeSS framework for scaling product development. Craig was named one of the top 20 Agile influencers of all time, was one of the first “Certified Scrum Trainers”, and is the co-author of multiple books on scaling lean & agile development.

Craig holds a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in computer science, with research emphasis in artificial intelligence (having very little of his own).

In addition to organizational design, he has worked since the 1970s for better software designs, and is the author of one of the world’s best-selling texts on object-oriented design, patterns, modeling, and architecture.
