This comprehensive guide, developed at the IBM International TechnicalSupport Organization Center in San Jose, California, is idealfor managers and developers applying object-oriented methods inlarge-scale information technology environments. The authors, Daniel Tkach and Richard Puttick, two IBM consultants with extensiveexperience in object technology projects worldwide, demonstratethe benefits, pitfalls and trade-offs of object-oriented methodologies,providing a wealth of information that will help managers makechoices about the resources and technologies available for applicationdevelopment. The book discusses the impact of object technologyon management decisions with examples from real, full-scale environmentsin which productivity has increased significantly from the useof object technology in the development of core enterprise applications. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE SECOND EDITION * Provides a clear and solid explanation of the principles ofobject-oriented technology. * Describes and compares the methodologies currently in use inobject-oriented development environments.
* Includes a new chapter on VMT (Visual Modeling Technique), asuccessfully tested methodology that integrates visual programminginto mainstream object application development. * Analyzes the role of development tools in building object-orientedapplications. * Discusses the issues involved in building a user interface. * Includes a full chapter on the structure, dynamics, and managementof object-oriented application development teams. * Details the use of a configuration management tool. * Explains how "legacy code" can be integrated withobject applications. * Provides examples with state-of-the-art development environments. 0201498332B04062001
Daniel Tkach is the Object Technology Consulting Practice Leaderof the IBM Consulting Group for IBM Latin America. He has extensiveexperience in managing information technology projects in largecorporations, and has led multiple object technology projectsboth in IBM and in client environments. Richard Puttick is a Senior Consultant with the IBM UK SystemsDesignConsultancy. He has been a lead designer in several very largeobject-oriented projects in the UK and has also participated ina number of object technology projects in the US. 0201498332AB04062001
