Written by one of the best known object-oriented practitioners in the business, Process Patterns is based on proven, real-world techniques. Scott Ambler shows readers how to deliver successfully large-scale applications using object technology, and he carefully describes how one develops applications that are truly easy to maintain and to enhance. He shows how such projects can be maintained, and points out what is necessary to ensure that one's development efforts are of the best quality. The object-oriented software process (OOSP) that he presents is geared toward medium to large-size organizations who need to develop software internally to support their main line of business. Developers and project managers who have just taken their first OO development course will find this book essential. It describes the only OOSP to take the true needs of development into consideration, including cross-project maintenance operations, and support issues. This book uses the Unified Modeling
Written by internationally acclaimed trainer and developer Scott Ambler, this book is a must-have resource for designers, programmers and testers of today's OO applications. The author takes you through the entire process of building object applications, from analyzing the project (so you know what you need to build), to designing a user-friendly interface, to testing your approaches to make sure your applications work properly. Building Object Applications That Work includes sections on: • how to use the Unified Modeling Language effectively • analysis, so you know what you need to build • design techniques, so that you know how you are going to build your application • collecting the right metrics to improve your development approach • applying OO patterns to improve the quality of your applications • creating applications for stand-alone, client/server and distributed environments • using both relational and object-oriented databases to make your objects persistent
For all developers who create models using the Unified Modeling Language (UML) 2.x The Elements of UML™ 2.0 Style sets the rules for style that will improve your productivity - especially in teams, where understandability and consistency are critical. Coming from renowned UML expert Scott Ambler, the book furnishes a set of rules for modelling in the UML and describes a collection of standards and guidelines for creating effective UML diagrams that will be concise and easy to understand. It provides conventions for: Class diagrams; Timing Diagrams; Use case diagrams; Composite Structure Diagrams; Sequence diagrams; Interaction Overview Diagrams; Activity diagrams; Object diagrams; State machine diagrams; Package diagrams; Communication diagrams; Deployment diagrams and Component diagrams. The Elements of UML™ 2.0 Style sets the rules for style that will improve your productivity.
Refactoring has proven its value in a wide range of development projects–helping software professionals improve system designs, maintainability, extensibility, and performance. Now, for the first time
