This practical book tells readers how to actually build object-oriented models using UML notation, and how to implement these models using Java. The authors introduce all of the basic fundamentals necessary to start applying and understanding the object-oriented paradigm without having to be an expert in computer science or advanced mathematics. It can help the reader to make the right decisions to meet their individual business needs. Using cases, recommended approach scenarios, and examples, this clearly-written book covers a multitude of topics: managing complexity, principles of Object-Orientation, specification models, current techniques, behaviors, relationships, rules, design, Java background and fundamentals, multi-tasking, JAR files, security, Swing Applets, class and interface, internationalization, and implementing generalization and specialization. For professional software analysts and developers who work on large systems, and others in the field of computer science.

EBOOK: Object-Oriented Software Engineering: Practical Software Development Using UML and Java

If you are interested in learning object-oriented technology using UML (Unified Modeling Language) and C++, then this guide from two leading software developers at Bell Laboratories of Lucent Technologies and AT&T is for you. Designed as a self-teaching guide for busy software analysts and developers who work on large systems, this book will teach you how to actually do object-oriented modeling using UML notation and implementing the model using C++. Features: Uses the new UML notation for documentation. UML will be the new industry standard; teaches the professional to make and trade off decisions to meet business needs; explains the differences among object-oriented analysis, object-oriented design, and object-oriented programming; provides a strategy for employing all the steps of object-oriented technology; fully worked case study that takes the reader through the entire development process; every concept is introduced with an example.
