NEW LANGUAGE VISUALIZES PROGRAM ABSTRACTIONS CLEARLY AND PRECISELY

Popular software modelling notations visualize implementation minutiae but fail to scale, to capture design abstractions, and to deliver effective tool support. Tailored to overcome these limitations, Codecharts can elegantly model roadmaps and blueprints for Java, C++, and C# programs of any size clearly, precisely, and at any level of abstraction. More practically, significant productivity gains for programmers using tools supporting Codecharts have been demonstrated in controlled experiments.

Hundreds of figures and examples in this book illustrate how Codecharts are used to:

Visualize the building-blocks of object-oriented design

Create bird's-eye roadmaps of large programs with minimal symbols and no clutter

Model blueprints of patterns, frameworks, and other design decisions

Be exactly sure what diagrams claim about programs and reason rigorously about them

Tools supporting Codecharts are also shown here to:

Recover design from plain Java and visualize the program's roadmap

Verify conformance to design decision with a click of a button

This classroom-tested book includes two main parts:

Practice (Part I) offers experienced programmers, software designers and software engineering students practical tools for representing and communicating object-oriented design. It demonstrates how to model programs, patterns, libraries, and frameworks using examples from JDK, Java 3D, JUnit, JDOM, Enterprise JavaBeans, and the Composite, Iterator, Factory Method, Abstract Factory, and Proxy design patterns.

Theory (Part II) offers a mathematical foundation for Codecharts to graduate students and researchers studying software design, modelling, specification, and verification. It defines a formal semantics and a "satisfies" relation for design verification, and uses them to reason about the relations between patterns and programs (e.g., "java.awt implements Composite" and "Factory Method is an abstraction of Iterator").

Part of a new four-volume series presenting best practices using UP to develop object-oriented, component-based software, this book examines the second UP phase--elaboration--focusing on defining, validating, and baselining the architecture for a system. Illustrations throughout.

C++ is now established as one of the leading industry programming languages for object-oriented software development. Its advantages over other languages include speed and flexibility. It is used as the base for many commercial software products and for performance solutions to complex problems. Not often taught as the primary programming language, students are frequently expected to pick up the language for themselves. This book is an ideal student self-learning guide.

As a step-by-step tutorial, this book teaches all language features and explains their practical usage. Intuitive examples are used that are neither too complex to distract, nor oversimplified. A key concept in C++ is programming with templates, which can help to program generic solutions - for example implementing polymorphism. Nicolai Josuttis teaches how to combine templates with object-oriented programming to produce the power of modern C++ development for high performance programs. It is a book that goes well beyond the basics.

A supplementary website, including source code, can be found at www.josuttis.com/cppbook

Features:

• comprehensive, detailed, readable, practical and up-to-date

• teaches how to get the power from C++, using the current ANSI language standard and programming mode

• specific hints help C and Java programmers switch and compare languages.

• website provides more examples and links to useful online resources.

This work introduces the benefits of object-oriented programming and discusses how the technology can be used to improve productivity in building software systems in the manufacturing domain. It addresses a wide range of issues from languages, design principles, research examples through to industrial applications and management issues. In essence, the main objective of the book is to interpret and apply object-oriented concepts in the context of designing manufacturing systems applications. The main audience for this book consists of professionals, engineers and managers, who deal with manufacturing systems, as well as students and educators looking for new directions in building software systems to solve problems in this area. The book should also be of special interest to engineering and computer professionals who have heard the term "object-oriented" and want to learn more about it and its importance, especially in designing software for manufacturing systems. This book should be of interest to: software and manufacturing engineers in industry; software consultants; technical managers; graduate students and researchers in computer-integrated manufacturing.

Ideal for a first course in the C programming language, Afyouni/Forouzan's COMPUTER SCIENCE: A STRUCTURED PROGRAMMING APPROACH IN C, 4th edition, introduces you to both computer science theory and C-language syntax using a principle-before-implementation approach. Combining a clear organizational structure with easy-to-follow figures, charts and tables, the text helps you sharpen your logic, problem-solving skills and understanding of fundamental CS concepts and software engineering through hands-on programming assignments and applications. In addition, two all-new chapters are devoted to Pointers and Recursion.

This innovative book recognizes the need within the object-oriented community for a book that goes beyond the tools and techniques of the typical methodology book. In Analysis Patterns: Reusable Object Models, Martin Fowler focuses on the end result of object-oriented analysis and design-the models themselves. He shares with you his wealth of object modeling experience and his keen eye for identifying repeating problems and transforming them into reusable models. Analysis Patterns provides a catalogue of patterns that have emerged in a wide range of domains including trading, measurement, accounting and organizational relationships. Recognizing that conceptual patterns cannot exist in isolation, the author also presents a series of "support patterns" that discuss how to turn conceptual models into software that in turn fits into an architecture for a large information system. Included in each pattern is the reasoning behind their design, rules for when they should and should not be used, and tips for implementation. The examples presented in this book comprise a cookbook of useful models and insight into the skill of reuse that will improve analysis, modeling and implementation.

Appropriate for all basic-to-intermediate level courses in Visual Basic 2012 programming. Created by world-renowned programming instructors Paul and Harvey Deitel, Visual Basic 2012 How to Program introduces all facets of the Visual Basic 2012 language through a hands-on approach with hundreds of working programs. This book reflects the major innovations Microsoft has incorporated in Visual Basic 2012; all discussions and sample code have been carefully audited against the newest Visual Basic language specification. The 6th Edition is updated to Visual Studio 2012 and includes new chapters on Windows 8 UI app development, Windows 8 graphics/multimedia, Windows Phone 8 app development and Windows Azure. Students begin by getting comfortable with the free Visual Basic Express 2012 IDE and basic VB syntax. Next, they build their skills one step at a time, mastering control structures, classes, objects, methods, variables, arrays, and the core techniques of object-oriented programming. With this strong foundation in place, the Deitels introduce more sophisticated techniques, including inheritance, polymorphism, exception handling, strings, GUI's, data structures, generics, and collections. Throughout, the authors show developers how to make the most of Microsoft's Visual Studio tools. A series of appendices provide essential programming reference material on various topics.

This introductory-level C programming book is designed primarily for engineering students required to learn how to program. In Engineering Problem Solving with C, 4th Edition, best-selling author, Delores Etter, uses real-world engineering and scientific examples and problems throughout the text. Solutions to the problems are developed using the language C and the author's signature five-step problem solving process. Since learning any new skill requires practice at a number of different levels of difficulty, four types of exercises are presented to develop problem-solving skills - Practice! problems, Modify! problems, Short-Answer problems, and Programming problems. The author's clear and precise style creates a highly accessible and readable text for students of all levels.

Developed from the author's many years of teaching computing courses, Programming in C++ for Engineering and Science guides students in designing programs to solve real problems encountered in engineering and scientific applications. These problems include radioactive decay, pollution indexes, digital circuits, differential equations, Internet addresses, data analysis, simulation, quality control, electrical networks, data encryption, beam deflection, and many other areas. To make it easier for novices to develop programs, the author uses an object-centered design approach that helps students identify the objects in a problem and the operations needed; develop an algorithm for processing; implement the objects, operations, and algorithm in a program; and test, correct, and revise the program. He also revisits topics in greater detail as the text progresses. By the end of the book, students will have a solid understanding of how C++ can be used to process complex objects, including how classes can be built to model objects. Web ResourceThe book's website at http://cs.calvin.edu/books/c++/engr-sci provides source code, expanded presentations, links to relevant sites, reference materials, lab exercises, and projects. For instructors, solutions to exercises and PowerPoint slides for classroom use are available upon qualifying course adoption.

The design and analysis of efficient data structures has long been recognized as a key component of the Computer Science curriculum. Goodrich and Tomassia's approach to this classic topic is based on the object-oriented paradigm as the framework of choice for the design of data structures. For each ADT presented in the text, the authors provide an associated Java interface. Concrete data structures realizing the ADTs are provided as Java classes implementing the interfaces. The Java code implementing fundamental data structures in this book is organized in a single Java package, net.datastructures. This package forms a coherent library of data structures and algorithms in Java specifically designed for educational purposes in a way that is complimentary with the Java Collections Framework.

"One of the great things about the book is the way the authors explain concepts very simply using analogies rather than programming examples--this has been very inspiring for a product I'm working on: an audio-only introduction to OOP and software development."

--Bruce Eckel

.,."I would expect that readers with a basic understanding of object-oriented programming and design would find this book useful, before approaching design patterns completely. "Design Patterns Explained "complements the existing design patterns texts and may perform a very useful role, fitting between introductory texts such as UML Distilled and the more advanced patterns books."

--James Noble

Leverage the quality and productivity benefits of patterns--without the complexity! "Design Patterns Explained, Second Edition" is the field's simplest, clearest, most practical introduction to patterns. Using dozens of updated Java examples, it shows programmers and architects exactly how to use patterns to design, develop, and deliver software far more effectively.

You'll start with a complete overview of the fundamental principles of patterns, and the role of object-oriented analysis and design in contemporary software development. Then, using easy-to-understand sample code, Alan Shalloway and James Trott illuminate dozens of today's most useful patterns: their underlying concepts, advantages, tradeoffs, implementation techniques, and pitfalls to avoid. Many patterns are accompanied by UML diagrams.

Building on their best-selling First Edition, Shalloway and Trott have thoroughly updated this book to reflect new software design trends, patterns, and implementation techniques. Reflecting extensive readerfeedback, they have deepened and clarified coverage throughout, and reorganized content for even greater ease of understanding. New and revamped coverage in this edition includes Better ways to start "thinking in patterns" How design patterns can facilitate agile development using eXtreme Programming and other methods How to use commonality and variability analysis to design application architectures The key role of testing into a patterns-driven development process How to use factories to instantiate and manage objects more effectively The Object-Pool Pattern--a new pattern not identified by the "Gang of Four" New study/practice questions at the end of every chapter

Gentle yet thorough, this book assumes no patterns experience whatsoever. It's the ideal "first book" on patterns, and a perfect complement to Gamma's classic "Design Patterns," If you're a programmer or architect who wants the clearest possible understanding of design patterns--or if you've struggled to make them work for you--read this book.
