Dan Pilone Bücher

Was lernen Sie mit diesem Buch? Haben Sie sich schon einmal gefragt, was es mit testgetriebener Entwicklung auf sich hat? Oder auf welcher Basis es die richtig guten Consultants schaffen, gewaltige Stundensätze zu kassieren? Vielleicht sind Sie auch gerade an dem Punkt, an dem Sie Ihre Builds automatisieren wollen, Ihren Code in eine Versionskontrolle füttern, einem Refactoring unterziehen oder mit ein paar Entwurfsmustern anreichern wollen. Egal: Wenn Sie mit diesem Buch fertig sind, werden Sie ganz selbstverständlich Ihre Burndown-Rate verfolgen, den Durchsatz Ihres Teams berücksichtigen und sich erfolgreich Ihren Weg durch Anforderungen, Entwurf, Entwicklung und Auslieferung iterieren. Wieso sieht dieses Buch so anders aus? Wir gehen davon aus, dass Ihre Zeit zu kostbar ist, um mit neuem Stoff zu kämpfen. Statt Sie mit Bleiwüstentexten langsam in den Schlaf zu wiegen, verwenden wir für „Softwareentwicklung von Kopf bis Fuß“ ein visuell und inhaltlich abwechslungsreiches Format, das auf Grundlage neuster Forschungsergebnisse im Bereich der Kognitionswissenschaft und der Lerntheorie entwickelt wurde. Wir wissen nämlich, wie Ihr Gehirn arbeitet.

Use this book to decipher the many UML diagrams you'll encounter on the path to delivering a modern software system. Updated to cover the very latest in UML, you'll find coverage of the following UML 2.0 diagram types: Class diagrams Component diagrams* Sequence diagrams* Communication diagrams* Timing diagrams* Interaction Overview diagrams* Package diagrams* Deployment diagrams* Use case diagrams Composite structure diagrams* Activity diagrams* Statechart diagrams* * New or expanded coverage in this edition Also new in this edition is coverage of UML's Object Constraint Language (OCL). Using OCL, you can specify more narrowly the functionality described in a given diagram by recording limits that are the result of business rules and other factors.

The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is one of the most important languages for anyone in the software industry to know. The UML is a visual language enabling architects, designers, and developers to communicate about design. Seemingly simple on the surface, the UML is a rich and expressive language, with many visual syntactical elements. It's next to impossible to memorize all aspects of the UML. Just as a writer might require a dictionary to work with the spoken word, so too do UML practitioners require a dictionary of sorts. In this book, you'll find information on UML usage, and also on the symbols, line-endings, and syntax used for the following diagram types: Class diagrams Component diagrams Behavioral diagrams Sequence diagrams Statechart diagrams Object diagrams Deployment diagrams Use case diagrams Collaboration diagrams Activity diagrams Let this book be your UML dictionary. It's clear, concise, and small. Keep this book at hand, and never again be stymied by an unfamiliar UML symbol, a line-ending you don't recognize, or the use of an unfamiliar diagram type. O'Reilly's Pocket References have become a favorite among programmers everywhere. By providing a wealth of important details in a concise, well-organized format, these handy books deliver just what you need to complete the task at hand. When you need to get to a solution quickly, the new UML Pocket Reference is the book you'll want to have.
