 [Preface]





This new edition of a best-seller gives object programmers the latest information on getting faster, better results with strategies and templates.

  • Covers the three leading object modeling notations, Coad, OMT and the important new Unified (Booch-Rumbaugh) methodology.
  • Presents 177 state-of-the-art strategies and 31 patterns for object model development.
  • By the world's leading experts in object-oriented modeling.
