Object Oriented Methods

Since the previous edition of this popular and comprehensive book was published, there have been massive changes in the field of object technology. This book has been fully revised and updated to reflect the newest technologies and methodologies, including extensive coverage of middleware, components, Java & UML. If you are a developer or manager needing to succeed with objects, this book will give you a full understanding of the key concepts, benefits and pitfalls - plus what technologies and tools are available and how to evaluate them. It offers invaluable insights into the philosophy and real-world practice of today' s leading object-oriented techniques and products. Major features of this edition: detailed chapter covering middleware and migration strategies chapter describing best practice for analysis and design, with in-depth focus on architecture and patterns plus a concise presentation of the Catalysis method for component based development revised coverage of requirements, featuring detailed description of the SOMA approach coverage of Java, in addition to other object-oriented programming languages Plus:- significantly revised coverage of object-oriented databases to address new and increasingly mature products- review of processes and project management including RUP and OPEN Process, and guidance on testing and UI design- new appendices summarizing the UML notation and background survey of 50 object oriented methods- self-test questions and model answers on accompanying web-site: www. trireme.com

A revision of Ian Graham's successful survey of the whole area of object technology. It covers object-oriented programming, object-oriented design, object-oriented analysis, object-oriented databases, and treats several related technologies. New to this edition are more applications of object-oriented methods and over twice the material on design and analysis.

An Essential Reference for Intermediate and Advanced R Programmers Advanced R presents useful tools and techniques for attacking many types of R programming problems, helping you avoid mistakes and dead ends. With more than ten years of experience programming in R, the author illustrates the elegance, beauty, and flexibility at the heart of R. The book develops the necessary skills to produce quality code that can be used in a variety of circumstances. You will learn: The fundamentals of R, including standard data types and functions Functional programming as a useful framework for solving wide classes of problems The positives and negatives of metaprogramming How to write fast, memory-efficient code This book not only helps current R users become R programmers but also shows existing programmers what’s special about R. Intermediate R programmers can dive deeper into R and learn new strategies for solving diverse problems while programmers from other languages can learn the details of R and understand why R works the way it does.

The tips focus on the truly tough stuff-proven techniques learnt through experience. By uniquely combining the concepts and practical applications of three important programming languages, C++, Java and C#, the author provides a comprehensive coverage of the domain including the semantics. Browse through it for your last-minute preparation for cracking IT interviews successfully.

A guide to understanding object orientation using new Unified Modeling Language (UML). Explains how to build models based on ideas that are fundamental to human thinking.

"There are few books that show how to build programs of any kind. One common theme is compiler building, and there are shelves full of them. There are few others. It's an area, or a void, that needs filling. this book does a great job of showing how to build numerical analysis programs." -David N. Smith, IBM T J Watson Research Center Numerical methods naturally lend themselves to an object-oriented approach. Mathematics builds high- level ideas on top of previously described, simpler ones. Once a property is demonstrated for a given concept, it can be applied to any new concept sharing the same premise as the original one, similar to the ideas of reuse and inheritance in object-oriented (OO) methodology. Few books on numerical methods teach developers much about designing and building good code. Good computing routines are problem-specific. Insight and understanding are what is needed, rather than just recipes and black box routines. Developers need the ability to construct new programs for different applications. Object-Oriented Implementation of Numerical Methods reveals a complete OO design methodology in a clear and systematic way. Each method is presented in a consistent format, beginning with a short explanation and following with a description of the general OO architecture for the algorithm. Next, the code implementations are discussed and presented along with real-world examples that the author, an experienced software engineer, has used in a variety of commercial applications. Features: Reveals the design methodology behind the code, including design patterns where appropriate, rather than just presenting canned solutions. Implements all methods side by side in both Java and Smalltalk. This contrast can significantly enhance your understanding of the nature of OO programming languages. Provides a step-by-step pathway to new object-oriented techniques for programmers familiar with using procedural languages such as C or Fortran for numerical methods. Includes a chapter on data mining, a key application of numerical methods.

Object-Oriented Analysis (OOA) has become an established concept in the Information Systems industry. For systems developers and business professionals who want to see how OOA works in the real world, this book is a must. In a narrative style, the author uses case studies to explain the concept of OOA, and offers step-by-step explanations grounded in the concrete and developing into abstract. For the many system developers who are not yet familiar with this new technology, this text brings OOA down to earth.

Object-oriented analysis and design (OOAD) has over the years, become a vast field, encompassing such diverse topics as design process and principles, documentation tools, refactoring, and design and architectural patterns. For most students the learning experience is incomplete without implementation. This new textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to OOAD. The salient points of its coverage are: • A sound footing on object-oriented concepts such as classes, objects, interfaces, inheritance, polymorphism, dynamic linking, etc. • A good introduction to the stage of requirements analysis. • Use of UML to document user requirements and design. • An extensive treatment of the design process. • Coverage of implementation issues. • Appropriate use of design and architectural patterns. • Introduction to the art and craft of refactoring. • Pointers to resources that further the reader’s knowledge. All the main case-studies used for this book have been implemented by the authors using Java. The text is liberally peppered with snippets of code, which are short and fairly self-explanatory and easy to read. Familiarity with a Java-like syntax and a broad understanding of the structure of Java would be helpful in using the book to its full potential.
