This invaluable guide clearly outlines the necessary decisions and issues to consider before employing objects for software development projects. It is filled with practical advice distilled from the authors' extensive experience in the creation and use of object technology: advice covering all aspects of programming languages, development tools, and methods for analysis and design. Recognizing differences in culture and in long- and short-term goals among organizations, the authors observe that no single prescription will work everywhere. To be sure, the authors can-and do-make generally applicable recommendations, and tie these recommendations to the conditions under which they have seen success and failure. But their principal aim is to create a structure that will enable readers to develop their own coherent-and successful-management plans.
