Synopsis

Now in its second reprint, this popular book provides a detailed, practical comparison of object-oriented, process-oriented ('structured') and data-oriented development strategies. A key feature of the book is the use of a powerful CASE tool (included on the CD-Rom) in all of the design examples.  These examples cover the whole of the development process, from analysis and design through to implementation and testing.   The practical nature of the design comparisons is emphasised  by using example programs, in C++ to illustrate all of the discussions.  No previous experience of C++ is required in order to make full use of the book, but some previous programming experience is assumed. This book will help practising programmers update their skills to take full advantage of object-oriented design and programming techniques.  It will also help students of computer science and engineering make effective use of C++ in substantial software projects.

From the Back Cover

Software Engineering with C++ and CASE Tools
Michael J. Pont

This book and its accompanying CD-ROM, are designed to give readers hands-on experience of C++ programming and the entire software engineering life-cycle. Substantial and realistic case studies are used to illustrate alternative approaches to software development, supported by the SELECT CASE (Computer-Aided Software Engineering) tool provided with the book.

Key Features of the Book:

§ A detailed comparison of process-oriented, data-oriented and object-oriented development strategies

§ Realistic case studies illustrating the engineering of C++ programs for a variety of applications, from decision support systems to real-time embedded systems

§ Hands-on experience of the practical benefits of a CASE tool provided on CD-ROM

§ Complete coverage of the software and development process from analysis and design to coding and testing

The book will help students of computer science and engineering make effective use of C++ in substantial software projects, and help practising programmers to update their skills to take full advantage of object-oriented programming and C++.
