The Object Primer: The Application Developer's Guide to Object Orientation and the UML

by Scott W. Ambler

Scott Ambler, author of Building Object Applications that Work, Process Patterns, and More Process Patterns, has revised his acclaimed first book, The Object Primer. Long prized in its original edition by both students and professionals as the best introduction to object-oriented technology, now this book is completely up-to-date with new material in every chapter. There are also new chapters on good OO programming techniques and OO software testing. All modeling notation has been rewritten in UML notation. Review questions at the end of each chapter allow readers to test their newly acquired knowledge. In addition, the author takes time to reflect on the lessons learned over the past few years by discussing the proven benefits and drawbacks of the technology. This is the perfect book for any software development professional or student seeking an introduction to the concepts and terminology of object technology.
