Case Studies in Object-Oriented Analysis and Design (Bk/Disk)

By Edward Yourdon and Carl Argila

Written by a co-developer of one of the most popular OOA/OOD methods, this case book shows how object-oriented analysis and design are actually practised in developing real systems - false starts and all. It presents two case studies - one with a predominant reactive view and one with a predominant data view - and shows how the principles of object-oriented analysis and design are applied to them. The book uses the Coad/Yourdon OOA/OOD method to develop an analysis and a design model, and devotes separate chapters to each of the OOA layers of the Coad/Yourdon approach (subject layer, class/object layer, structure layer, attribute layer, service layer), as well as the various components (problem-domain components, human-interaction component, task-management components, and data management component).

Customer Reviews

The best object-oriented design book I've seen

This book is great. It starts from a description of the case studies and it ends with the implementation. With this book, you can make your first object oriented project a GOOD one with ease! A must have for a beginner on object-oriented projects. I've tried other books, but none compared to this. Really great!

Practical examples of good object-oriented design

All in all, a pretty good book. It covers two complete case studies, from requirements to detailed design. It also includes finished examples of the programs that were designed. While the use of Yourdon's method is a little outdated, I would definately recommend this to those who want to get their feet wet in OO.
