Watch, listen, and learn the key skills, techniques, and patterns of effective object-oriented analysis and design!-- The world's #1 hands-on video course in O-O analysis/design and UML -- now completely updated!-- Great value! Watch 5 + hours of desktop videos and audio annotations that walk you step-by-step through UML analysis, design, patterns, and frameworks -- even key Unified Process (UP) practices!-- Your instructor: Craig Larman, renowned object instructor and author of the global best-seller Applying UML and Patterns!One step at a time, through more than 5 hours of desktop digital video and audio, world-renowned expert Craig Larman will teach you the core principles and best practices of object-oriented analysis and design. Watch, listen, and learn, as Larman walks you through four iterations of a single, cohesive case study, incrementally introducing the skills, activities, principles, and patterns you need to analyze and design any real-world software system. Unlike courses that focus solely on UML notation, Larman shows how to design with and think about objects. This new edition is thoroughly updated to reflect today's latest and best techniques for defining requirements; building use cases; modeling domain objects, attributes, and requirements; creating layered architectures; designing objects; and more. Learn how to express the results of analysis and design using the world-standard UML 1.4 diagramming notation, then master the "Agi

“This edition contains Larman’s usual accurate and thoughtful writing. It is a very good book made even better.” —Alistair Cockburn, author, Writing Effective Use Cases and Surviving OO Projects“Too few people have a knack for explaining things. Fewer still have a handle on software analysis and design. Craig Larman has both.” —John Vlissides, author, Design Patterns and Pattern Hatching“People often ask me which is the best book to introduce them to the world of OO design. Ever since I came across it Applying UML and Patterns has been my unreserved choice.” —Martin Fowler, author, UML Distilled and Refactoring “This book makes learning UML enjoyable and pragmatic by incrementally introducing it as an intuitive language for specifying the artifacts of object analysis and design. It is a well written introduction to UML and object methods by an expert practitioner.” —Cris Kobryn, Chair of the UML Revision Task Force and UML 2.0 Working Group<ul>
<li>A brand new edition of the world’s most admired introduction to object-oriented analysis and design with UML</li>
<li>
Fully updated for UML 2 and the latest iterative/agile practices </li>
<li>Includes an all-new case study illustrating many of the book’s key points</li>
</ul>
Applying UML and Patterns is the world’s #1 business and college introduction to “thinking in objects”—and using that insight in real-world object-oriented analysis and design. Building on two widely acclaimed previous editions, Craig Larman has updated this book to fully reflect the new UML 2 standard, to help you master the art of object design, and to promote high-impact, iterative, and skillful agile modeling practices.
Developers and students will learn object-oriented analysis and design (OOA/D) through three iterations of two cohesive, start-to-finish case studies. These case studies incrementally introduce key skills, essential OO principles and patterns, UML notation, and best practices. You won’t just learn UML diagrams—you’ll learn how to apply UML in the context of OO software development.
Drawing on his unsurpassed experience as a mentor and consultant, Larman helps you understand evolutionary requirements and use cases, domain object modeling, responsibility-driven design, essential OO design, layered architectures, “Gang of Four” design patterns, GRASP, iterative methods, an agile approach to the Unified Process (UP), and much more. This edition’s extensive improvements include
<ul>
<li>A stronger focus on helping you master OOA/D through case studies that demonstrate key OO principles and patterns, while also applying the UML</li>
<li>New coverage of UML 2, Agile Modeling, Test-Driven Development, and refactoring</li>
<li>Many new tips on combining iterative and evolutionary development with OOA/D </li>
<li>Updates for easier study, including new learning aids and graphics </li>
<li>New college educator teaching resources </li>
<li>Guidance on applying the UP in a light, agile spirit, complementary with other iterative methods such as XP and Scrum</li>

Applying UML and Patterns: An Introduction to Object-Oriented Analysis and Design and the Unified Process (2nd Edition)

Using statistical research and case studies, the author presents the most convincing case ever made for iterative development. He offers a concise summary of the key ideas that drive all agile and iterative processes, with the details of four noteworthy iterative methods: Scrum, XP, RUP, and Evo.

Lean Development and Agile Methods for Large-Scale Products: Key Thinking and Organizational Tools for Sustainable Competitive Success Increasingly, large product-development organizations are turning to lean thinking, agile principles and practices, and large-scale Scrum to sustainably and quickly deliver value and innovation. However, many groups have floundered in their practice-oriented adoptions. Why? Because without a deeper understanding of the thinking tools and profound organizational redesign needed, it is as though casting seeds on to an infertile field. Now, drawing on their long experience leading and guiding large-scale lean and agile adoptions for large, multisite, and offshore product development, and drawing on the best research for great team-based agile organizations, internationally recognized consultant and best-selling author Craig Larman and former leader of the agile transformation at Nokia Networks Bas Vodde share the key thinking and organizational tools needed to plant the seeds of product development success in a fertile lean and agile enterprise. Coverage includes <ul>
<li> Lean thinking and development combined with agile practices and methods </li> <li> Systems thinking </li> <li> Queuing theory and large-scale development processes </li> <li> Moving from single-function and component teams to stable cross-functional cross-component Scrum feature teams with end-to-end responsibility for features </li> <li> Organizational redesign to a lean and agile enterprise that delivers value fast </li> <li> Large-scale Scrum for multi-hundred-person product groups </li> </ul>
In a competitive environment that demands ever-faster cycle times and greater innovation, applied lean thinking and agile principles are becoming an urgent priority. Scaling Lean &amp; Agile Development will help leaders create the foundation for their lean enterprise–and deliver on the significant benefits of agility. In addition to the foundation tools in this text, see the companion book Practices for Scaling Lean &amp; Agile Development: Large, Multisite, and Offshore Product Development with Large-Scale Scrum for complementary action tools.

Practices for Scaling Lean & Agile Development: Large, Multisite, and Offshore Product Development with Large-Scale Scrum

The Go-To Resource for Large-Scale Organizations to Be Agile Rather than asking, “How can we do agile at scale in our big complex organization?” a different and deeper question is, “How can we have the same simple structure that Scrum offers for the organization, and be agile at scale rather than do agile?” This profound insight is at the heart of LeSS (Large-Scale Scrum). In Large-Scale Scrum: More with LeSS, Craig Larman and Bas Vodde have distilled over a decade of experience in large-scale LeSS adoptions towards a simpler organization that delivers more flexibility with less complexity, more value with less waste, and more purpose with less prescription. Targeted to anyone involved in large-scale development, Large-Scale Scrum: More with LeSS, offers straight-to-the-point guides for how to be agile at scale, with LeSS. It will clearly guide you to <ul>
<li>Adopt LeSS</li> <li>Structure a large development organization for customer value</li> <li>Clarify the role of management and Scrum Master</li> <li>Define what your product is, and why</li> <li>Be a great Product Owner</li> <li>Work with multiple whole-product focused feature teams in one Sprint that produces a shippable product</li> <li>Coordinate and integrate between teams</li> <li>Work with multi-site teams</li> </ul>
