This book contains even case studies, documented in UML, derived from small software projects delivered to real users.This step-by-step introduction to object-oriented software development is suitable for pedagogical training as well as for practicing software engineers seeking to add rigor to their techniques. The author presents seven complete case studies and several smaller examples documented in UML, derived from small software projects developed for and delivered to real users, preceded by an overview of the object oriented modeling artifacts in UML on which the remaining of the book relies. These case studies provide a medium for experimental use and act as templates that can be tailored by readers to fit their specific needs and circumstances.This step-by-step introduction to object-oriented software development is suitable for pedagogical training as well as for practicing software engineers seeking to add rigor to their techniques.
