Product Description

Designed as a companion volume to the acclaimed Object- Oriented Analysis, this book focuses on the middle part of the software lifecycle: the activitiy of design. It shows readers how to apply object-oriented design, and how to tailor and expand the method to suit specific organization and project needs. Readers will explore the major issues in OOD; the role of OOD in the systems lifecycle; how to use graphical notation; strategies for creating design; and hints for evaluating the efficiency of a design created with OOD. For software engineers and other users undertaking real-world systems development projects and designing overall software architecture for systems will find this reference approach to improving systems design indispensable.

Ingram

A companion to Coad's Object-Oriented Analysis, 2nd Ed., this important book builds upon three consistently employed methods of organization: objects and attributes, wholes and parts, and classes and members. Written primarily for the practicing software engineer, the authors discuss the role of OOD in the systems life cycle; describe graphical notation for OOD; and disclose strategies for creating a design.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but doesn't delve into, Dec 11 2000

By Roselli Marcello - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Object-Oriented Design (Paperback)

Good because it clearly separates analysis from design matters. The five layers-four components approach clarifies what must be done, when and where the results must be put, but it remains an overview of the design process (just the central part of the book is really dedicated to it). It's a good companion to OOA by the same authors. Useful the list at the end of the book either about analysis and design indications to follow to develop projects using their methodology. The chapter about the programming languages contains various syntax errors. I consider this the last in the rank of the three books (OOA, OOD, OOP).

5.0 out of 5 stars Kickin' Butt and Takin' Names, May 3 2000

By Robert Masson - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Object-Oriented Design (Paperback)

This is one of my favorite books of all time. It was the first book that ever really explained OO in an understandable and compelling way!

Peter Coad offers an excellent, real world approach to modelling using Object Oriented Design. This book optimally fits in with the rest of the series (OOA & OOP) but serves as a stand-alone as well. I bought this book ages ago and still keep it handy. Although the field has evolved since the writing and Peter has expanded his approach and embraced UML as well, the book still serves as an excellent resource for Software engineers.
