William Premerlani Libri

Applies techniques to the entire software development cycle. Presents a new object-oriented software development methodology-from analysis, through design, to implementation. 1. Object-oriented programming.

This revision offers a crisp, clear explanation of the basics of object-oriented thinking via UML models, then presents a process for applying these principles to software development, including C++, Java, and relational databases. An integrated case study threads throughout the book, illustrating key ideas as well as their application.

Applying OMT was written to illustrate the process for implementing an application using the very popular Object Modeling Technique (OMT) created by James Rumbaugh. Designed as a how-to guide, this book instructs readers on the implementation process and on practical approaches for OMT. By using a typical business application as a case study, the author begins his instruction with such fundamental concepts as modeling and prototyping and then moves into specific implementation strategies using C++ and Smalltalk code. Providing the code allows the reader to see first-hand how the code is mapped into the model and also allows each reader the flexibility to extend or modify the code as needed. Through this format, readers are exposed to the complete modeling process from start to finish and receive all the guidance provided in the method.
