No one can dispute the impact Grady Booch's writings have had on object-oriented technology. Best of Booch contains articles on various object-oriented topics published since Grady Booch's book Object Oriented Modeling and Design with Applications. Designed for software professionals who are concerned about the success of their object-oriented projects, this volume covers all aspects of the Booch method and how a complete method must address a model's notation and semantics as well as a process for creating that model. Many of the articles have been updated to reflect the current thinking in the Unified Modeling Language (UML).

4.0 out of 5 stars Key essays on OO programming, July 31, 2004

This review is from: Best of Booch: Designing Strategies for Object Technology (SIGS Reference Library) (Paperback)

Grady Booch is perhaps the best known proponent of object oriented programming. This book is a collection of essays by him that played no small part in him garnering that reputation.

Here is your chance to read original source material, as it were, describing the manifold advantages of OO programming. The level of discussion is understandable to anyone with at least a year of programming experience. Plus, of course, that experience need not have been in OO at all. Remember that the original audiences for these essays probably included many who were still doing procedural programming. Perhaps that also describes you?
