3.0 out of 5 starsThis is not a book for technologists.......
By An avid reader on June 26, 2003
Format: Paperback
I read this book after reading MDA Explained by Anneke Kleppe and found it wandering into many areas but not deep enough in any one of them. While this book is a decent attempt to bring forth the impact of MDA in enterprise computing, a reader looking to understand "what" MDA is and "how it" works would be thoroughly disappointed. MDA Explained is a far more useful (and thinner) book that is not only more readable but also lucid in explanation.

5.0 out of 5 starsA clear, pragmatic guide to applying MDA
By Edwin Seidewitz on July 22, 2003
Format: Paperback
I have had the pleasure of working with David Frankel for a number of years on Object Management Group efforts, so I expected a lot from this book. I wasn't disappointed.
Dave has written a clear, pragmatic guide to what MDA is and, more importantly, what really can (and cannot) be practically accomplished with MDA today. He unerringly focuses on the highest payoff areas for most projects, such as the generation of code from data models. He also brings his years of experience in developing enterprise systems to bear, clearly describing the specific issues involved in applying MDA in this difficult area.
The book gives a thorough presentation of the concepts behind MDA -- including the clearest discussion I have seen anywhere of OMG's Meta Object Facility, a perennial topic of confusion. Nevertheless, I don't really consider this a book on "MDA" as such. It is, indeed, a book on APPLYING MDA, as the title states.
If you are looking for a more theoretical presentation or a grand vision of how MDA will work someday, you may be disappointed. But if you are looking for techniques you can start applying the week after you finish the book, this is the book you want to be finishing.
I am currently Chief Architect at a company that is in the process of making the cultural and technical shift to model-driven development. I found this book so relevant to where we are and the next steps we need to take toward MDA, that I had the company buy copies for all our architects, plus a few extras to circulate among the developers. I even had my boss (the company president) read Part One, which provided just the right level of overview for him (plus Michael Guttman's forward, which is a fun read in itself).
If you are in a similar situation where you work, I couldn't suggest a better book as a helpful change agent. And if you simply want to know how to start applying MDA techniques for enterprise development, this is where to find out.

5.0 out of 5 starsThe Perfect Introduction to MDA
By Paul Harmon on February 10, 2003
Format: Paperback
Dave Frankel is the perfect person to write a book on MDA. First, he's been on the Architecture Board of the OMG for as long as I can remember. He has been involved in the development of MDA from the beginning, and is intimately aware of all the details of this complex undertaking. And, he's a writer with a very precise and clear style. I can remember, several years ago, being asked to edit a paper Dave had written. He'd written a 24 page paper on CORBA, J2EE and .NET. I was asked to create a 15 page version of the paper. After several days I gave up. The only solution was a completely new paper. The paper Dave had written was so well put together, so clear, and preceded by such logical steps, that the removal of any paragraph, let along two pages, would simply ruin a really great piece of instruction.
Dave has another virtue that he brings to this book: He is scrupulously honest. At each step, he explains just what currently exists, what will need to be created, and what one can do in the meantime. This book not only explains MDA, but it lets managers know exactly what will really be involved in actually implementing MDA in their organizations.
This is a book for corporate managers and architects who are thinking about MDA and need to really understand how it works. Such a reader would have a basic knowledge of UML, and the ability to read pseudo code. The book develops a currency options trading example to illustrate some of the concepts. This book will be the bible for everyone who is trying to learn or use MDA in the course of the next few years. I can't imagine that anyone could write anything clearer about this very complex and powerful new approach to software development. Every software architect needs to read this book.

3.0 out of 5 starsGood book, but I expected more...
By Jaguaraci Silva on December 13, 2010
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This book contains all basic concepts about MDA (OMG 2003 version) and its approach suggests a kind of theoretical reader. The MDA applying did not so effective if you want anything about this direction. The book did not show up any tools or pratical examples, in this time MDA was very incipient.
