| book description |

â€œThis edition contains Larmanâ€™s usual accurate and thoughtful writing. It is a very good book made even better.â€ â€” Alistair Cockburn, author, Writing Effective Use Cases and Surviving OO Projects â€œToo few people have a knack for explaining things. Fewer still have a handle on software analysis and design. Craig Larman has both.â€ â€” John Vlissides, author, Design Patterns and Pattern Hatching â€œPeople 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.â€ â€” Martin Fowler, author, UML Distilled and Refactoring â€œThis 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.â€ â€” Cris Kobryn, Chair of the UML Revision Task Force and UML 2.0 Working Group A brand new edition of the worldâ€™s most admired introduction to object-oriented analysis and design with UML Fully updated for UML 2 and the latest iterative/agile practices Includes an all-new case study illustrating many of the bookâ€™s key points Applying UML and Patterns is the worldâ€™s #1 business and college introduction to â€œthinking in objectsâ€â€”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-oriented analysis 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 wonâ€™t just learn UML diagramsâ€”youâ€™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, â€œGang of Fourâ€ design patterns, GRASP, iterative methods, an agile approach to the Unified Process (UP), and much more. This editionâ€™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 UML New coverage of UML 2, Agile Modeling, Test-Driven Development, and refactoring Many new tips on combining iterative and evolutionary development with OOA/D Updates for easier study, including new learning aids and graphics New college educator teaching resources Guidance 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 architectures A 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 objectsâ€”and creating systems that are well crafted, robust, and maintainable.
