Synopsis

In order to be able to write good software, students will need to be familiar with a range of techniques; good programming practice, experience of problem solving, familiarity with development methodologies, and knowledge of software processes. This book takes a new approach to the teaching of software development. Using a collection of case studies, it takes the student through the whole life cycle of building an application, starting at problem formulation, requirements analysis, system design, and the detail of the Java coding and testing. Each case study; -exploits object oriented concepts and techniques incrementally, with each case application getting more complex than the one before it-traces the path from problem statement through to implementation of the solution, giving guidance that is useful in subsequent case studies-gives a 'conceptual roadmap' where the student can follow the development of an application, and use those general principles in future software development-uses a different methodology, from a stand-alone application (computer simulator) to a distributed system (messaging server) through to a more complex system (workflow management system)

A fresh approach to Software Development with Java

This book will give you everything you need to develop an application, system or framework from conception to implementation with Java. Using a collection of case studies, with each one building on the one before, the authors guide you through the entire project life-cycle emphasizing good design practice throughout. Software Development will give you the knowledge to truly understand the complex problems associated with software design, and will provide you with the tools and techniques to overcome them.

Features

• Coverage of the latest Java-related technologies, including JDBC, RMI, Sockets, Applets, Servlets, JavaScript, XML and Swing GUI
• Problem-centric approach, which  shows you how to use the most appropriate object-oriented techniques for solving complex software development problems
• Uses the UML notation throughout
• Numerous programming exercises drawn from the case studies

Davide Brugali is an Assistant Professor at the University of Bergamo, Italy. Marco Torchiano is an Assistant Professor at the Politecnico di Torino, Italy. Both have extensive experience of teaching object-oriented programming and software engineering.
