Object-oriented modelling and design promote better understanding of requirements, cleaner designs and more maintainable systems. Often, books on related subjects rely on programming and coding, forcing readers to think in terms of the computer, and not the application. "Object-oriented Modeling and Design" emphasizes that object-oriented technology is more that just a way of programming. It applies techniques to the entire software development cycle. This volume presents a new object-oriented software development methodology - from analysis, through design, to implementation. Key features of the book include a focus on high-level, front-end conceptual processes of analysis and design, rather than just on the low-level, back-end implementation steps of programming; coverage of the entire development life cycle - analysis, design, implementation without a change of notation at each stage; a presentation of graphical notation and methodology independent of any particular programming language; case studies of industrial object-oriented applications developed by the authors; and examples and exercises that bring out fine points, summary lists of concepts and methodology steps, and almost 300 diagrams. Editorial Reviews Amazon.com Review Notable mainly for its clear and thorough exploration of the Object Modeling Technique (OMT)--a generic way of representing objects and their relationships--this book is good as a primer and great as a knowledge booster for those already familiar with object-oriented concepts. Object-Oriented Modeling and Design teaches you how to approach problems by breaking them down into interrelated pieces, then implementing the pieces. In addition to its documentation of the Object Modeling Technique (OMT), a graphical notation for depicting object-oriented systems, Object-Oriented Modeling and Design does a first-rate job of explaining basic and advanced object-orientation concepts. The book then moves on to explain the authors' techniques for breaking down problems into components and figuring out systems of interrelated objects that can be used as designs for programs. Interestingly, the authors devote part of their book to implementing object-oriented solutions in non-object-oriented languages--mainly C, Ada, and Fortran. There's also a great discussion of implementing object-oriented designs in relational database environments. The authors conclude their book with a sort of recipe section, detailing architectures for various types of programs in OMT. From the Publisher This text applies object-oriented techniques to the entire software development cycle. 5.0 out of 5 starsOne of the OO bibles By Daniel Moth on September 16, 1999 Format: Hardcover A landmark in OO literature: always was and always will be. Taking things from step zero to discussing very advanced issues. The notation used is the one where UML has borrowed most of its elements (especially the class diagrams). The process it describes has become the typical process for OO development (especially 2nd generation OMT as described through a series of articles in JOOP by Rumbaugh). In all, a book that leaves nothing uncovered from notation to process and more importantly in depth discussions on OO concepts and techniques that will always be true. Finally, this is one of the few books that discuss how to implement an OO design into a non-OO language such as C, Pascal, Fortran etc. END 4.0 out of 5 starsReally nice book, got to find something like after 10 years ByA customeron January 10, 2001 Format: Hardcover The chapters on object -> RDBMS mapping and implementation using non-OO languages are worth the whole book! It's outdated because it uses the OMT, I would really thanks Rambaugh if he could write a new edition! 5.0 out of 5 starsGet started! ByAmazon Customeron March 31, 2000 Format: Hardcover Lets face it, this is the best book to get started on Object Oriented Programming. An object is still an object, whether you show it in a cloud or in a box. Plus this book has some valuable tips on programming the right way, and puts reusability in perspective. Its written in extremely readable fashion, quite unlike some of the UML documents out there. The only thing that bothers me is the price tag, which seems to be a bit high. 5.0 out of 5 starsOMT is still the best ByRandy Charles Morin, KBCafeon March 23, 1999 Format: Hardcover I still maintain this book is the best. I believe Rumbaugh sold out when he joined Booch. Now its a commerical venture. This book was an educational delight. 4.0 out of 5 starsAn excellent book for OOAD ByA customeron August 23, 1998 Format: Hardcover This book is an excellent book for beginners as well as advanced guys in the charismatic field of OMT and OOAD. The book gives an excellent description of Object Modelling, Functional modelling and Dynamic modelling. The examples are good and understandable but they can be simplified. Over all an interesting and good book. https://www.amazon.com/Object-Oriented-Modeling-Design-James-Rumbaugh/dp/0136298419
