Description:

Craig Larman again delivers a clear path for students to learn object-oriented analysis and design through his clear and precise writing style.  Larman teaches newcomers to OOA/D learn how to “think in objects” by presenting three iterations of a single, cohesive case study, incrementally introducing the requirements and OOA/D activities, principles, and patterns that are most critical to success.
