This is an introductory text to object oriented sesign using OMT and C++. The adoption of C++ as a programming language presents a number of challenges, not least to reduce the degree of freedom available to the programmer. It explores some of these difficulties and their resolutions, by imposing on the language the use of an object model. This is also expessed in the design language. LOOM which, in addition to constraining the form of the model, also removes the confusing syntax of C++. The emergence of a number of object oriented methods offers the opportunity to impose object oriented modelling and designs into the development process from the beginning, ahead of implentation concerns. LOOM reinforces the holistic nature of the object model where there is less division between the phases of the software like cycle. It also provides the balance between the power and flexibility of the C++ programming language and the control required in its usage. In this way Loom reduces the risk involved in the adoption of C++ as an implementation laguage. Available on the Internet http://www,dcs,napier.ac.uk/rome

Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

Key Benefit: Provides a complete introduction to object-oriented modelling using OMT and to the C++ programming language. For many, C++ is the implementation language of choice for object-oriented development. Key Topics: The book explores the difficulties and resolutions by imposing on the language the use of an object model. This is expressed in the design language LOOM (Language for Object-Oriented Modelling) which provides the balance between the power and flexibility of the C++ programmilng language and the control required in its use. In this way, LOOM reduces the risk involved in the adoption of C++ as an implementation language. LOOM has been incorporated into a design tool called ROME. This powerful object modelling environment permits the designer to present an object model graphically and to decorate that model with LOOM constructs. The ROME design tool also includes a C++ code generator, delivering functional code that is ready for compilation and execution.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent guide to object-oriented design, February 5, 2001

This review is from: Object Oriented Design With C++ (Textbook Binding)

A great book with a free modelling tool and C++ code generator thrown in! Gives the reader a sound knowledge of OOD principles and how they apply to the C++ language. Should be used in conjunction with a good C++ book (Dietel & Dietel's C++ How to Program is excellent) to learn both OOD and the language itself.
