In The Unified Modeling Language User Guide, the original developers of the UML - Grady Booch, James Rumbaugh, and Ivar Jacobson - provide a tutorial to the core aspects of the language in a two-color format designed to facilitate learning. Starting with a conceptual model of the UML, the book progressively applies the UML to a series of increasingly complex modeling problems across a variety of application domains. This example-driven approach helps readers quickly understand and apply the UML. For more advanced developers, the book includes a learning track focused on applying the UML to advanced modeling problems.

Object solutions: Managing the Object-Oriented Project, by Grady Booch, guides developers and managers with practical suggestions for applying object technology, whether for first time projects or seasoned object-oriented veterans. Drawing on his worldwide experience in OO technology, Booch demonstrates to the novice as well as the experienced developer the sound principles of object-oriented software engineering that can make systems development more timely and effective. Booch draws from his extensive hands-on experience to present the reader with pragmatic advice, including recommended practices and rules of thumb that are the hallmarks of successful projects. Object Solutions is an exceptional resource that offers concise, practical advice from a noted OO practitioner.

Object-Oriented Design with Applications has long been the essential reference to object-oriented technology, which, in turn, has evolved to join the mainstream of industrial-strength software development. In this third edition--the first revisi
