"This edition contains Larman's usual accurate and thoughtful
writing. It is a very good book made even better."
--Alistair Cockburn, author, "Writing Effective Use Cases" and
"Surviving OO Projects""Too few people have a knack for explaining
things. Fewer still have a handle on software analysis and design.
Craig Larman has both."
--John Vlissides, author, "Design Patterns" and "Pattern
Hatching""People often ask me which is the best book to introduce
them to the world of OO design. Ever since I came across it
Applying UML and Patterns has been my unreserved choice."
--Martin Fowler, author, "UML Distilled" and "Refactoring""This
book makes learning UML enjoyable and pragmatic by incrementally
introducing it as an intuitive language for specifying the
artifacts of object analysis and design. It is a well written
introduction to UML and object methods by an expert
practitioner."
--Cris Kobryn, Chair of the UML Revision Task Force and UML 2.0
Working GroupA brand new edition of the world's most admired
introduction to object-oriented analysis and design with UMLFully
updated for UML 2 and the latest iterative/agile practicesIncludes
an all-new case study illustrating many of the book's key points
"Applying UML and Patterns" is the world's #1 business and
college introduction to "thinking in objects"--and using that
insight in real-world object-oriented analysis and design. Building
on two widely acclaimed previous editions, Craig Larman has updated
this book to fully reflect the new UML 2 standard, to help you
master the art of object design, and to promote high-impact,
iterative, and skillful agile modeling practices.
Developers and students will learn object-orientedanalysis and
design (OOA/D) through three iterations of two cohesive,
start-to-finish case studies. These case studies incrementally
introduce key skills, essential OO principles and patterns, UML
notation, and best practices. You won't just learn UML
diagrams--you'll learn how to "apply" UML in the context of OO
software development.
Drawing on his unsurpassed experience as a mentor and
consultant, Larman helps you understand evolutionary requirements
and use cases, domain object modeling, responsibility-driven
design, essential OO design, layered architectures, "Gang of Four"
design patterns, GRASP, iterative methods, an agile approach to the
Unified Process (UP), and much more. This edition's extensive
improvements include A stronger focus on helping you master OOA/D
through case studies that demonstrate key OO principles and
patterns, while also applying the UMLNew coverage of UML 2, Agile
Modeling, Test-Driven Development, and refactoringMany new tips on
combining iterative and evolutionary development with OOA/DUpdates
for easier study, including new learning aids and graphics New
college educator teaching resourcesGuidance on applying the UP in a
light, agile spirit, complementary with other iterative methods
such as XP and Scrum Techniques for applying the UML to documenting
architecturesA new chapter on evolutionary requirements, and much
more
"Applying UML and Patterns, Third Edition," is a lucid and
practical introduction to thinking and designing with objects--and
creating systems that are well crafted, robust, and
maintainable.
