One step at a time, through more than 3 hours of desktop digital video and audio, world-renowned expert Craig Larman will teach you the core principles and best practices of object-oriented analysis and design. Watch, listen, and learn, as Larman walks you through four iterations of a single, cohesive case study, incrementally introducing the skills, activities, principles, and patterns you need to analyze and design any real-world software system. Unlike courses that focus solely on UML notation, Larman shows how to design with and think about objects. This new edition is thoroughly updated to reflect today's latest and best techniques for defining requirements; building use cases; modeling domain objects, attributes, and requirements; creating layered architectures; designing objects; and more. Learn how to express the results of analysis and design using the world-standard UML 1.4 diagramming notation, then master the "Agile UP" framework for modeling and development using key Unified Process activities and practices. Practice with the hands-on projects included on CD-ROM, and compare your results against Craig Larman's expert solutions! Includes a custom workbook containing all video presentation materials.

This review is from: Applying UML and Patterns Training Course: A Desktop Seminar from Craig Larman (2nd Edition) (CD-ROM)

Finally someone who can put a wide range of OO concepts into a format that the average developer can understand. We need more titles in this format. I especially enjoyed his defense of iterative development (versus waterfall), and recommendations for XP documentation. May be too basic for some OO developers, but still good as a review. Also time well spent in preparation for the IBM UML certification exam, or play it during lunch for your friends at work!

This is an excellent training course. It is not just about UML, but puts UML into practice for an object-oriented approach. The video material is of a high quality and clarity. If this is the future of "interactive" training, then I am all for it. A worthwhile purchase.
