Many in the extreme and agile communities have long held the RationalUnified Process as being an antithesis approach to program development -citing it as being too process oriented, too rigid and structured, and overlyconcerned with documentation. This book is Rational's reaction to thatinaccurate perception. Using a project case study that is carried throughout thebook, the authors illustrate how agile techniques can be used effectively in aRUP environment. While not taking the extreme or agile communities to taskfor their expressed disdain for process, this book shows that process caneffectively accommodate design and development approaches which are notusually associated with the RUP. Software Engineering for Small Projectssuccessfully extends the appeal of the Rational Unified Process.

"Head First Object Oriented Analysis and Design is a refreshing look at subject of OOAD. What sets this book apart is its focus on learning. The authors have made the content of OOAD accessible and usable for the practitioner." --Ivar Jacobson, Ivar Jacobson Consulting 
"I just finished reading HF OOA&amp;D and I loved it! The thing I liked most about this book was its focus on why we do OOA&amp;D-to write great software!" --Kyle Brown, Distinguished Engineer, IBM "Hidden behind the funny pictures and crazy fonts is a serious, intelligent, extremely well-crafted presentation of OO Analysis and Design. As I read the book, I felt like I was looking over the shoulder of an expert designer who was explaining to me what issues were important at each step, and why." --Edward Sciore, Associate Professor, Computer Science Department, Boston College Tired of reading Object Oriented Analysis and Design books that only makes sense after you're an expert? You've heard OOA&amp;D can help you write great software every time-software that makes your boss happy, your customers satisfied and gives you more time to do what makes you happy. But how? Head First Object-Oriented Analysis &amp; Design shows you how to analyze, design, and write serious object-oriented software: software that's easy to reuse, maintain, and extend; software that doesn't hurt your head; software that lets you add new features without breaking the old ones. Inside you will learn how to: <ul>
<li>Use OO principles like encapsulation and delegation to build applications that are flexible</li> <li>Apply the Open-Closed Principle (OCP) and the Single Responsibility Principle (SRP) to promote reuse of your code</li> <li>Leverage the power of design patterns to solve your problems more efficiently</li> <li>Use UML, use cases, and diagrams to ensure that all stakeholders are communicating clearly to help you deliver the right software that meets everyone's needs.</li> </ul>
By exploiting how your brain works, Head First Object-Oriented Analysis &amp; Design compresses the time it takes to learn and retain complex information. Expect to have fun, expect to learn, expect to be writing great software consistently by the time you're finished reading this!

Creating robust software requires the use of efficient algorithms, but programmers seldom think about them until a problem occurs. Algorithms in a Nutshell describes a large number of existing algorithms for solving a variety of problems, and helps you select and implement the right algorithm for your needs -- with just enough math to let you understand and analyze algorithm performance. With its focus on application, rather than theory, this book provides efficient code solutions in several programming languages that you can easily adapt to a specific project. Each major algorithm is presented in the style of a design pattern that includes information to help you understand why and when the algorithm is appropriate. With this book, you will:
<ul>
<li>Solve a particular coding problem or improve on the performance of an existing solution</li>
<li>Quickly locate algorithms that relate to the problems you want to solve, and determine why a particular algorithm is the right one to use</li>
<li>Get algorithmic solutions in C, C++, Java, and Ruby with implementation tips</li>
<li>Learn the expected performance of an algorithm, and the conditions it needs to perform at its best</li>
<li>Discover the impact that similar design decisions have on different algorithms</li>
<li>Learn advanced data structures to improve the efficiency of algorithms</li>
</ul>
With Algorithms in a Nutshell, you'll learn how to improve the performance of key algorithms essential for the success of your software applications.
