Applying UML and Patterns: An Introduction to Object-Oriented Analysis and Design and Iterative Development (3rd Edition) by Craig Larman Publisher: Prentice Hall PTR; 3 edition (October 30, 2004)Applying UML and Patterns is the world\'s #1 business and college introduction to \"thinking in objects\"and using that insight in real-world object-oriented analysis and design. Building on two widely acclaimed previous editions, Craig Larman has updated this book to fully reflect the new UML 2 standard, to help you master the art of object design, and to promote high-impact, iterative, and skillful agile modeling practices.Developers and students will learn object-oriented analysis and design (OOA/D) through three iterations of two cohesive, start-to-finish case studies. These case studies incrementally introduce key skills, essential OO principles and patterns, UML notation, and best practices. You won\'t just learn UML diagramsyou\'ll learn how to apply UML in the context of OO software development.Drawing on his unsurpassed experience as a mentor and consultant, Larman helps you understand evolutionary requirements and use cases, domain object modeling, responsibility-driven design, essential OO design, layered architectures, \"Gang of Four\" design patterns, GRASP, iterative methods, an agile approach to the Unified Process (UP), and much more. This edition\'s extensive improvements includeA stronger focus on helping you master OOA/D through case studies that demonstrate key OO principles and patterns, while also applying the UMLNew coverage of UML 2, Agile Modeling, Test-Driven Development, and refactoringMany new tips on combining iterative and evolutionary development with OOA/DUpdates for easier study, including new learning aids and graphicsNew college educator teaching resourcesGuidance on applying the UP in a light, agile spirit, complementary with other iterative methods such as XP and ScrumTechniques for applying the UML to documenting architecturesA new chapter on evolutionary requirements, and much moreApplying UML and Patterns, Third Edition, is a lucid and practical introduction to thinking and designing with objectsand creating systems that are well crafted, robust, and maintainable.http://img470.imageshack.us/img470/1586/013148906201sclzzzzzzz0nt.jpghttp://www.ebookee.com.cn/Applying-UML-and-Patterns-An-Introduction-to-Object-Oriented-Analysis-and-Design-and-Iterative-Development-3rd-Edition-_34091.htmlhttp://www.amazon.com/Applying-UML-Patterns-Introduction-Object-Oriented/dp/0131489062/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1219551411&sr=1-1
