DESCRIPTION:

KEY BENEFIT: This book gathers together and synthesizes all that is best and correct in object-oriented technology -- emphasizing such areas as CASE tools, reuse, project management, metrics, configuration.

KEY TOPICS: Explains why some organizations are consciously, deliberately choosing not to implement OO software methodologies -- at least, for the time being; discusses a number of "management" issues associated with the OO paradigm; considers the broad area of object-oriented analysis (OOA); explores object-oriented design (OOD); explains CASE technology for OO methodologies; and features a full section on how to get started with OOP.
