I started Object Oriented Analysis and Design a few months ago and have been reading it in what spare time I have. I sought out a book to help further my skills in software design practices, especially in object modeling and overall object oriented software design. After reading almost two-thirds of this book, I have learned a lot. The book is very thorough, very technical, but very well written. Reading this book twice is a must as there is not intro to some of the terminology used throughout. It is not hard to follow by any means, however, a second reading will undoubtedly result in a more thorough understanding of the concepts and how to best apply them. A detailed journey into the world of UML is a bonus, and as some have called it, a “mini-book” within this book. If you are unfamiliar with UML, or just want to learn it from one of it’s creators, these chapters will be a tremendous asset to you. Grady Booch is know as the father of the object model and is an expert in object modeling, patterns, and UML. He was the developer of the UML. I have not made it to the sample applications included in the book so watch for an update once I finish the book.
