Excellent Introductory OOAD Book

As the title would indicate, this introductory book on Object Oriented Analysis and Design (OOAD) does an excellent job of combining theory and implementation in C++. Design techniques from CRC cards to transition state diagrams are presented, with an excellent chapter on classes and design ramifications of association, aggregation, and inheritance. Memorizing simple examples from the book, such as '64 VWBUG or 747, or perhaps Gryffindor could easily help beginning designers avoid implementation errors actual projects. I like the author's sense of humor and writing style, and I especially recommend this book as a valuable reference for OOAD.

Recomended for beginner-medium OO software developer(s) !!

This book gave me a lot of practical insights into the aspects of designing OO software. Great resource to start to develop OO software!!

One of the best books on software engineering withno theory!

This book and and the book design patterns, and clouds to code are the 3 best books on software engineering. All others are loaded with cryptic-techo jargon. This book should be read before the design patterns and also read clouds to code. ALL Colleges should require these 3 books. The best programming books are C++ primer, Effective C++ and Arm. But for newbie programmers get C++ in 21 days and Deitels C++. Best visual C++ books. using visual C++ by kate gregory .(special edition) Professional mfc wrox, beginning mfc wrox press. I spent at least 1500 on books and these books are the best ones i got.

Great book

This is an excellent introduction to Object-Oriented Analysis. Easy to read and well organized, this is a very nice point to start.

Good balance between theory and practice

I have found Jesse's book to be a good book for those of us who wish to make the transition from data and process modelling to object oriented analysis and design. His book provides a good balance between theory and practice. It provides a bridge from the theory of object oriented analysis and design to its actual implementation. As an example, I have read several books on the UML notation, but this book was the best on showing how the different diagrams fit together. In chapter 2, for example, Jesse effectively uses a video store to explain why and how to capture Use Cases. I especially found useful Chapter 3 where he discusses class design. I feel that this book was written by a practitioner for other practitioners who need guidelines on how to do the nuts and bolts of Object-oriented analysis and design. I have recommended it to several of my associates who like me are making the transition from an action-oriented or data-driven perspective to an object-orienter perspective.
