This new edition demonstrates a modeling-based approach to object-oriented development. It is a significant and comprehensive revision of the book. While the central focus remains the same as in previous editions, the reader will notice substantial improvements in the presentation.
Salient features
- All expected background materials are now in one chapter, making it easier for both the teacher and the learner.
- The treatment of modeling concepts and UML diagrams is both broader and deeper.
- Securing the software is considered in the design and implementation phases.
- The design is evaluated for bad smells, which are corrected by refactoring.
- Implementation is carried out in both JavaFX and Swing.
- Software reuse is dealt with in much greater depth. The role of substitutability is examined and explained in this context.
- Comparison of the finite state machine and use case models is provided.
- A procedure to assist readers in analysis and design using the finite state machine model is included.
