| In this eagerly awaited second edition, Grady Booch draws upon the rich and varied results of those projects and offers improved methods for object development and a new, unified notation. With numerous examples implemented in C++, Booch illustrates essential concepts, explains the method, and shows successful applications in a variety of fields. Booch also gives pragmatic advice on a host of issues, including classification, implementation strategies, and cost-effective project management.

Since the publication of the first edition of Object-Oriented Design with Applications, objectoriented technology has indeed moved into the mainstream of industrial-strength software development. We have encountered the use of the object-oriented paradigm throughout the world, for such diverse domains as the administration of banking transactions; the automation of bowling alleys; the management of public utilities; and the mapping of the human genome. Many of the next generation operating systems, database systems, telephony systems, avionics systems, and multimedia applications are being written using object-oriented techniques. Indeed, many such projects have chosen to use object-oriented technology simply because there appears to be no other way to economically produce an enduring and resilient programming system. |
