Advanced Object-Oriented Analysis and Design Using UML [Paperback]

This 1998 book conveys the essence of object-oriented programming and software building through the Unified Modeling Language.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.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).
