Summary: A Quantity of Strategies and Patterns
Comment: Shows you how to create object models (analysis models) through indepth examples and guidance by presenting strategies and patterns as you need them as you work through the examples. The strategies tell you how to approach a task such as how to select objects. Strategies are short, focused. For example, a strategy may have three or four one-sentence things to do to accomplish a goal. The patterns present template objects and their typical interactions.

The examples are relevant to business analysts.

After working through even just one example, you will be able to create object models and using the strategies and patterns.

Includes reference section containing all of the strategies and patterns.

The book uses COAD notation to present the examples, so for people familiar with UML it takes a little getting used to.

Rating: 5
Summary: Learn by Example
Comment: The strategies and patterns mentioned in the book are really helpful. They improve the object think. The examples explain the author's point of view clearly. This book complements other books in OOAD and patterns by Craig Larmen, GoF, Martin Fowler etc.

One interesting point is that the author shows how same strategy or pattern helps in design in various problems. Most of the books do not show this. For beginners, it is often difficult to grasp a strategy or pattern with just one example.

One drawback is it uses UML notation very less. But Coad notation is simple and we can easily grasp to understand the diagrams in the book. If you want to learn from solid examples, this is a good choice. If you are very new to OOAD, this is NOT the one you can start with.

Summary: This book makes a significant contribution ...
Comment: "This book makes a significant contribution to the world of business computing by providing familiar business application examples. The strategies and patterns make it easy to extend the practitioner's current knowledge and mental models. Working professionals in business who want to learn how to 'object think' will find concrete examples of applications development, along with practical 'how to' guidance. The result? Accelerated learning!" -- Peter Fingar, Dir. of Information Technology, U of Tampa,
