Language has revolutionized software development. Every integrated
software development environment in the world--open-source,
standards-based, and proprietary--now supports UML and, more
importantly, the model-driven approach to software development.
This makes learning the newest UML standard, UML 2.0, critical for
all software developers--and there isn't a better choice than this
clear, step-by-step guide to learning the language."

Prefactoring approaches software development of new systems
using lessons learned from many developers over the years. It is a
compendium of ideas gained from retrospectives on what went right
and what went wrong in development. Some of these ideas came from
experience in refactoring. Refactoring is improving the design of
existing code to make it simpler and easier to maintain.
This practical, thought-provoking guide details prefactoring
guidelines in design, code, and testing. These guidelines can help
you create more readable and maintainable code in your next
project.To help...

6. |  UML 2.0 in a Nutshell, 1st Edition By: Dan Pilone; Neil Pitman Publisher: O'Reilly Media, Inc. Publication Date: 20-JUN-2005 Insert Date: 20-SEP-2005 Bookshelf Slots: 1.0 | Overview: UML 2.0 in a Nutshell, 1st Edition
System developers have used modeling languages for decades to
specify, visualize, construct, and document systems. The Unified
Modeling Language (UML) is one of those languages. UML makes it
possible for team members to collaborate by providing a common
language that applies to a multitude of different systems.
Essentially, it enables you to communicate solutions in a
consistent, tool-supported language. Today, UML has become the
standard method for modeling software systems, which means you're
probably confronting this rich and expressive language more than
ever before. And even though you...

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...

experience that developers need to breeze through this fourth and
final stage of Enterprise Java mastery. Crammed with tips and
