"Secrets of Object Oriented Analysis and Design" is the first book which examines the specific techniques used in OOA+D, demonstrating how to gather, analyse and document information. Relating modeling techniques to cognitive psychology, psychoanalysis and neuro linguistic programming, the book teaches a very thorough and innovative approach to problem solving. Although written from a practitioner viewpoint, academic reviewers have suggested the book would be incredibly useful for students on OOA+D, Requirements Engineering and Software Development courses.
