- I have been monitoring and participating in the OO discussions on the net
- for quite a while. Based upon the mail I have received, the most popular
- methodologies are (1) Object-Oriented Modeling and Design (Rumbaugh et al)
- and (2) Object-Oriented Design with Applications (Booch). It has been
- my recommendation that the Rumbaugh techniques be used as the primary
- methodology and that it be supplemented by the many pearls-of-wisdom that
- can be found throughout Grady's book. To be more specific, we do not
- agree totally with Rumbaugh on every point, but we like his notation;
- Booch helps shape our OO philosphy (sometimes to a greater extent than
- Rumbaugh); furthermore, Grady has some concepts (like object timing
- diagrams) that we find very useful (since we develop in a real-time,
- multi-tasking environment).
-
- Another topic I would like to bring up is CASE tools-- especially OO
- CASE tools. So far I am not very impressed but I would buy any CASE
- tool that allows me to annotate any diagram artifact (this is critical
- to capturing the HOW and WHY of your analysis and design so that you
- do not forget and so others can step into your mind).
-
- Thanks for listening.
