Object-Oriented Software Engineering/Examples in C++

by Steve Halladay, Steve Halladay

Learn how ( Engineer applications to minimize costs ( Manage all six phases of the software lifecycle ( Use recursion in the object-creation process. This book demonstrates object-oriented principles for each phase of development, from specification through maintenance. A comprehensive example coded in C++ ties the demonstration together. For precision, the design method is presented in a pseudocode algorithm. This book describes a methodology that combines the strength of OOP with a pragmatic process. The authors empirically derived this methodology by studying how successful developers create OOP software. The methodology minimizes bureaucracy while maintaining a high standard of software reliability. Each chapter develops a different facet of the methodology by explaining the concepts and demonstrating them with examples. A comprehensive example is refined at each stage, thus showing how the methodology works in large-scale projects. Each chapter has an algorithmic summary.
