Appropriate for a graduate level course in Computer Science or Software Engineering. The first book that presents a software development methodology for building C++ class frameworks using emerging object standards: CORBA, STL, and ODMG-93. It may be viewed as a software developers handbook, one that explains how to use Object-Oriented Design the way in which it was originally intended.

Object Technology The first experience-based guide to building object-oriented frameworks Building Application Frameworks By providing reusable skeletons on which to build new applications, frameworks can save you countless hours and thousands (even millions) of dollars in development costs. Written and edited by some of the top names in the object-oriented programming world, this is the first complete study of building frameworks. Using examples drawn from successful implementations worldwide, it walks you through all the steps of a framework development project. Providing guidance on all key technical and business issues surrounding framework construction, it covers: * Techniques for developing, integrating, and adapting frameworks * Leveraging existing design and code * Selecting and utilizing frameworks * Tracking, controlling, and documenting framework development * Maintaining, measuring, and controlling framework quality * Training developers in the effective use of frameworks * Evaluating frameworks and framework investments

The Fit open source testing framework brings unprecedented agility to the entire development process. Fit for Developing Software shows you how to use Fit to clarify business rules, express them with concrete examples, and organize the examples into test tables that drive testing throughout the software lifecycle. Using a realistic case study, Rick Mugridge and Ward Cunningham--the creator of Fit--introduce each of Fit's underlying concepts and techniques, and explain how you can put Fit to work incrementally, with the lowest possible risk. Highlights include Integrating Fit into your development processes Using Fit to promote effective communication between businesspeople, testers, and developers Expressing business rules that define calculations, decisions, and business processes Connecting Fit tables to the system with "fixtures" that check whether tests are actually satisfied Constructing tests for code evolution, restructuring, and other changes to legacy systems Managing the quality and evolution of tests A companion Web site (http://fit.c2.com/) that offers additional resources and source code

Contains full coverage of the ANSI/ISO C++ standard. The text covers classes, methods, interfaces and objects that make up the standard C++ libraries.

The programming language C# was built with the future of application development in mind. Pursuing that vision, C#'s designers succeeded in creating a safe, simple, component-based, high-performance language that works effectively with Microsoft's .NET Framework. Now the favored language among those programming for the Microsoft platform, C# continues to grow in popularity as more developers discover its strength and flexibility. And, from the start, C# developers have relied on Programming C# both as an introduction to the language and a means of further building their skills. The fourth edition of Programming C#--the top-selling C# book on the market--has been updated to the C# ISO standard as well as changes to Microsoft's implementation of the language. It also provides notes and warnings on C# 1.1 and C# 2.0. Aimed at experienced programmers and web developers, Programming C#, 4th Edition, doesn't waste too much time on the basics. Rather, it focuses on the features and programming patterns unique to the C# language. New C# 2005 features covered in-depth include: Visual Studio 2005 Generics Collection interfaces and iterators Anonymous methods New ADO.NET data controls Fundamentals of Object-Oriented Programming Author Jesse Liberty, an acclaimed web programming expert and entrepreneur, teaches C# in a way that experienced programmers will appreciate by grounding its applications firmly in the context of Microsoft's .NET platform and the development of desktop and Internet applications. Liberty also incorporates reader suggestions from previous editions to help create the most consumer-friendly guide possible.

* * Paul Yao is acclaimed as the best writer on the .NET Compact Framework (CF) * Practical, code-rich tutorial for experienced programmers wishing to transfer their skills to smart devices * Covers topics not found in other books, such as controls, data handling, graphics, and ActiveSync * Microsoft is pushing the Compact Framework very heavily.

This book provides a unique overview of different approaches to developing software that is flexible, adaptable and easy to maintain and reuse. It covers the most recent advances in software architecture research. In addition, it provides the reader with scalable solutions for engineering and reengineering business processes, including architectural components for business applications, framework design for Internet distributed business applications, and architectural standards for enterprise systems.

Object Technology A gold mine of enterprise application frameworks Implementing Application Frameworks While frameworks can save your company millions in development costs over time, the initial investment can be quite high. This book/CD-ROM package helps you to reduce the cost of framework development by providing 40 case studies documenting the experiences of framework builders and users at major corporations and research labs, worldwide. Throughout, the authors extract important lessons and highlight technical and organizational implementation practices that have been proven to yield the biggest payoff. Focusing primarily on business systems and agent-based application frameworks, it covers frameworks for: * Data processing * Agent-based applications * Artificial intelligence applications * Object-oriented business processes * System application frameworks * Programming languages and tools * And much more The enclosed CD-ROM gives you: * Example frameworks * Documentation and manuals * Framework code and implementation tips * Sample framework architectures and models * Design patterns and presentations * Animated demonstrations

Unit test frameworks are a key element of popular development methodologies such as eXtreme Programming (XP) and Agile Development. But unit testing has moved far beyond eXtreme Programming; it is now common in many different types of application development. Unit tests help ensure low-level code correctness, reduce software development cycle time, improve developer productivity, and produce more robust software.Until now, there was little documentation available on unit testing, and most sources addressed specific frameworks and specific languages, rather than explaining the use of unit testing as a language-independent, standalone development methodology. This invaluable new book covers the theory and background of unit test frameworks, offers step-by-step instruction in basic unit test development, provides useful code examples in both Java and C++, and includes details on some of the most commonly used frameworks today from the XUnit family, including JUnit for Java, CppUnit for C++, and NUnit for .NET.Unit Test Frameworks includes clear, concise, and detailed descriptions of: The theory and design of unit test frameworks Examples of unit tests and frameworks Different types of unit tests Popular unit test frameworks And more It also includes the complete source code for CppUnit for C++, and NUnit for .NET.

Is the Unified Process the be all and end all standard for developing object-oriented component-based software? This book focuses on the design and implementation skeletal versions of systems for purposes of testing early in the life cycle for quality control.
