For weeks, months nay! from the very moment you were born, you ve felt it calling to you. At long last you ll be united with the programming language you ve been longing for: Clojure! As a Lisp-style functional programming language, Clojure lets you write robust and elegant code, and because it runs on the Java Virtual Machine, you can take advantage of the vast Java ecosystem. Clojure for the Brave and True offers a 'dessert-first' approach: you ll start playing with real programs immediately, as you steadily acclimate to the abstract but powerful features of Lisp and functional programming. Inside you ll find an offbeat, practical guide to Clojure, filled with quirky sample programs that catch cheese thieves and track glittery vampires. Learn how to: Wield Clojure s core functions Use Emacs for Clojure development Write macros to modify Clojure itself Use Clojure s tools to simplify concurrency and parallel programming Clojure for the Brave and True assumes no prior experience w

Michael McMillan provides a complete presentation of the object-oriented features of the Visual Basic .NET language for advanced Visual Basic programmers. Beginning with an introduction to abstract data types and their initial implementation using structures, he explains standard OOP topics including class design, inheritance, access modifiers and scoping issues, abstract classes, design and implemention of interfaces and design patterns, and refactoring in VB.NET. More advanced OOP topics are included as well, such as reflection, object persistence, and serialization. To tie everything together, McMillan demonstrates sound OOP design and implementation principles through practical examples of standard Windows applications, database applications using ADO.NET, Web-based applications using ASP.NET, and Windows service applications.

Scott Ambler, award-winning author of Building Object Applications that Work, Process Patterns, and More Process Patterns, has revised his acclaimed first book, The Object Primer. Long prized in its original edition by both students and professionals as the best introduction to object-oriented technology, this book is now completely up-to-date, with all modeling notation rewritten in the just-released UML 2.0. All chapters have been revised to take advantage of Agile Modeling (AM), which is presented in the new chapter 2 along with other important new modeling techniques. Review questions at the end of each chapter allow readers to test their newly acquired knowledge. In addition, the author takes time to reflect on the lessons learned over the past few years by discussing the proven benefits and drawbacks of the technology. This is the perfect book for any software development professional or student seeking an introduction to the concepts and terminology of object technology.

Business managers often find it impossible to communicate business objectives and specify their software requirements to technical members of staff. This beginner's guide to the Unified Modeling Language (UML) - the standard for documenting software designs - teaches readers to communicate with software developers in a more focused, effective way. It describes the basic diagrams of the UML modeling notation and shows how they are used to specify requirements in an unambiguous way. When applied on a project, the risk of failure through unclear requirements is removed. If you are a non-technical person with a stake in the success of a software project, this book is for you. Milan Kratochvil has worked as an IT-consultant, instructor and writer in methodology for nearly twenty-five years, focusing on areas where IT and business intersect.

Writing technical applications in a modern object-oriented approach, using Fortran 90 or 95, can be problematic. This book teaches how to employ the principles of object-oriented programming to produce clear, highly efficient executable codes (rather than focusing on the traditional procedural abilities of Fortran). This text is an excellent harbinger to all the features of the finalized, fully object-oriented Fortran 200X. In addition to covering the OOP methodologies, the basic foundation of the language and solid programming skills are reviewed, making the book valuable also as a good migration tool for experienced Fortran programmers that want to smoothly pick up the OOP paradigm. The author highlights common themes by using comparisons with Matlab® and C++ and uses numerous cross-referenced examples to convey all concepts quickly and clearly. Complete code for the examples is included on the accompanying CD.

This book explores ENVY at several levels. The first chapters are devoted to a tutorial, bringing new users and non-technical managers up to speed on the basics of ENVY usage, its unique concepts, and the way it influences team development processes. Later chapters address project leads and ENVY administrators with useful advice and utilities. Finally, the authors delve deep into the internals to illustrate sophisticated toolbuilding techniques and provide some invaluable goodies. These include a "checkpoint" facility for snapshotting open editions in progress, a three-way differences browser, and an entire toolkit of administration tools for scripting common ENVY operations. The accompanying code is available at http://www.envymasters.com. Adrian Cho works at Object Technology International (OTI) in Ottawa, where he is the technical lead for ENVY/Developer and the team programming portions of VisualAge Java. Alan Knight is currently on the VisualWorks development team at Cincom in Ottawa.

Ivar Jacobson is one of the most important figures in the software development industry. Together with his colleagues Grady Booch and James Rumbaugh, he has been pivotal to the creation of the Unified Modeling Language and Rational's Unified Software Development Process. In this book, Stefan Bylund has collected and revised Ivar Jacobson's articles from Object Magazine, JOOP, ROAD, and Component Strategies. It not only presents his most influential work, but also tracks the development of the Unified Software Development Process. An excellent reference for software professionals interested in analysis and design, the volume offers real-world experience in developing quality software through disciplined engineering.

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").

This collection of top-notch articles by well-known experts brings together, for the first time, key elements of this area that are fast becoming the focus of much current research and practice in computing. About half the articles deal with theoretical frameworks, models, and systems of notation; the rest comprise case studies by architects of prototype systems who present findings on architectures verification. The emphasis is on advances in the technological infrastructure of component-based systems; how to design and specify reusable components; and how to reason about, verify, and validate systems from components. An introduction by Clemens Szyperski gives a snapshot of current research in the field.

How does a company succeed in the volatile world of e-commerce? The real challenge is to fully leverage the potential of the Internet as a means to building an agile enterprise.

Aimed at CIOs, CEOs, and technologists alike, e-Enterprise explores the strategic challenges faced by companies as they embrace business in the networked economy of the future. It takes a step beyond the simple transaction-based e-commerce model and shows how a business can truly take advantage of rapidly evolving technology.

With More C++ Gems, Robert Martin, Editor-in-Chief of C++ Report, presents the long-awaited follow-up to C++ Gems (1996). Since the publication of the first book, the C++ language has experienced many changes. The ISO has adopted a standard for the language and its library. The Unified Modeling Language has affected software development in C++, and Java has changed things as well. Through all of these developments, C++ Report has been the forum for developers and programmers to share their experience and discuss new directions for the industry. More C++ Gems picks up where the first book left off, presenting tips, tricks, proven strategies, easy-to-follow techniques, and usable source code by some of the most renowned experts in the field.

In this book, Smalltalk pioneer and guru, Kent Beck, weaves together a collection of his "landmark" articles from leading IT trade journals--The Smalltalk Report, JOOP, and Object Magazine. Written for Smalltalk programmers, this book is designed to help readers become more effective Smalltalk developers and object technology users. It is filled with insider tips, advanced techniques, and proven strategies on getting the most out of the Smalltalk language. Some specific topics covered are patterns, garbage collection, the use of CRC cards, and much more.

This book, first published in 1997, covers the most important topics in ComponentWare (TM) technology, based in large part on the first Component Users Conference. It addresses such issues as ComponentWare platforms, component design and architecture, distributed object computing, ComponentWare languages, patterns and frameworks, interoperability, and debugging and testing.

In The Patterns Handbook, Linda Rising has selected seminal articles and essays that illustrate the growing importance of patterns in application development. In this important collection, you will find articles on pattern writing, pattern templates, system test patterns, frameworks and design patterns, how patterns work in teams, patterns and antipatterns, and patterns of thought. A partial list of well published experts includes James Coplien, Kent Beck, Grady Booch, Ralph Johnson, Robert Martin, Andrew Koenig, and John Vlissides. This reference contains an overview, examples and experience, resources, an annotated bibliography, and contact information. The use of patterns leads to successful solutions to recurring problems. This book will show you how to use patterns to improve productivity and quality and to become a better software designer.

This ground-breaking book distills the experience of the authors in dealing with problems in industry that can be solved by using the SELECT Perspective. A pragmatic, component-based approach for the development of enterprise systems, the SELECT Perspective comprises a unique blend of techniques, architecture, and process. Enterprise software development presents challenges of sheer scale and complexity that continue to accelerate at a terrific pace. Businesses are becoming increasingly adaptive and are calling for software that is more and more flexible. Component technology holds the promise of solving these problems, but there are some complications. For example, many organizations continue to struggle with the challenge of integrating their legacy systems with the newer technology. The approach in this book offers a streamlined set of modeling techniques based on Unified Modeling Language (UML); uses a serviced-based architecture that provides an overall design philosophy for reusable software that addresses the needs of the business, not the technology; and is a clearly defined software process that provides guidance on how to employ the knowledge base of available techniques.

Composed of updated versions of James Odell's articles from The Journal of Object-Oriented Programming, ROAD , and Object Magazine, this book works to convey the essence of object-oriented programming and software building through the Unified Modeling Language (UML). The author provides concise but in-depth pieces on structural issues, dynamic issues, business rules, object complexity, object aggregation, design templates, and the process of objects.

Fortran gilt nunmehr seit uber drei Jahrzehnten als die Programmiersprache zur Losung technisch-wissenschaftlicher Probleme, was nicht zuletzt auf die stetige Entwicklung der Sprache auf standardisiertem Niveau zuruckzufuhren ist. Das Werk beschreibt die Programmiersprache gemass des jungsten Standards ("Fortran 90"), welcher alle Sprachmerkmale des vorherigen, derzeit noch weltweit im Einsatz befindlichen Standards ("FORTRAN 77") beinhaltet. Da alle neuen wie auch alle uberflussig gewordenen Sprachkonstruktionen im gesamten Verlauf des Buches konsequent gekennzeichnet sind, ist dieses als Nachschlagewerk fur beide Fortran-Standards geeignet. Daruberhinaus dient das Werk einerseits fur Kenner von Fortran als Einfuhrung in den neuen Standard und andererseits - grundlegende Programmierkenntnisse vorausgesetzt - als Lehrbuch fur die Programmiersprache Fortran schlechthin. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die ausfuhrliche Beschreibung der weit uber hundert vordefinierten Prozeduren sowie die Illustration samtlicher Sprachmerkmale mittels typischer Beispiele."

Das Buch behandelt die Spezifikation von Directory-Systemen unter Anwendung von Konzepten der logischen Programmierung. Ausgehend von der Definition derArchitektur eines Directory-Systems wird eine Spezifikationsmethode zur Beschreibung solcher Architekturen vorgestellt. Als Spezifikationssprache dient die Sprache der Hornklausel-Logik, erweitert um Negation. Im Buch werden eine von D.B. Terry bei Xerox PARC entworfene Architektur und ein Ausschnitt aus der Architektur des internationalen Standards f}r Directory-Systeme (X.500) spezifiziert. Daran lassen sich die Vorteile der vorgeschlagenen Methode aufzeigen: Die Spezifikationen sind kompakt, gut lesbar und besitzen eine deklarative und eine prozedurale Semantik. Die erstellten Spezifikationen lassen sich auf einem Prolog-System ausf}hren. Die Ausf}hrbarkeit der Spezifikationen erweist sich als vielseitig anwendbare Eigenschaft, welche beispielsweise die Simulation eines Directory-Systems bei gegebener Konfiguration erm-glicht oder die ]berpr}fung (Verifikation, Validierung) einer Spezifikation erleichtert.
