 [Preface]





Master the Unified Modeling Language, the new standard for object orientation. It's not enough just to learn an object-oriented language. A proficient programmer must also have the ability to design robust, scalable, maintainable systems. Applying UML and Patterns was written especially to provide the foundation for a complete understanding of the object paradigm, and how to put it to practical use. Applying UML and Patterns provides beginning object programmers with a detailed activity roadmap to guide them through each step of requirements, analysis, design, and coding. This book strongly emphasizes translating theoretical concepts to practical applications, including:

  • Mapping object-oriented diagrams directly to Java code
  • Expressing models using UML
  • Integrating patterns for analysis and design
  • Creating layered architectures
  • Building frameworks
Using a single integrated case study throughout the book, Applying UML and Patterns provides a comprehensive, hands-on approach that gives a thorough grounding to beginning and intermediate programmers.



Author Bio

CRAIG LARMAN has been developing software since 1978, and has been teaching object-oriented programming to adult students since 1986. He holds a B. Sc. and M. Sc. in computer science, and is the creator of the GRASP patterns, designed for users new to the object paradigm. He has personally taught and mentored more than 2,000 students, and is currently Principal Instructor at ObjectSpace, a company specializing in object technology.
