If you are unfamiliar with how standards are developed, the history of the Rexx Standard may give some insight. The idea of a standard was first promoted by Linda Green, the IBM representative to the SHARE organization at the time. There was enthusiasm for the idea at the very first Rexx Symposium, which allowed Linda to make a case to the authorities, who allowed Linda to convene the first meeting. This was attended by several of the parties with a producer or user interest in Rexx and they "bootstrapped" themselves to being a committee by suggesting Brian Marks as chairman, a choice subsequently endorsed by the Information Technology Industry Council which administers this class of standard.

Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) is a revolutionary new way to think about software engineering. AOP was introduced to address crosscutting concerns such as security, logging, persistence, debugging, tracing, distribution, performance monitoring, and exception handling in a more effective manner. Unlike conventional development techniques, which scatter the implementation of each concern into multiple classes, aspect-oriented programming localizes them.

Эта книга знакомит читателя с такими популярным CASE-средством, как Rational Rose. В ней показывается, как при помощи пакета Rational Rose на основе UML-диаграмм создается программная система от замысла до создания исполняемого кода. Повторяя описанные в книге действия, читатель сам пройдет этот путь, целью которого будет создание полноценного приложения. На каждом шаге в создании проекта подробно описываются возможности этого сложного инструмента для проектирования и создания программного кода системы. Книга открывает пути использования пакета Rational Rose не только для аналитика, но и для программиста, показывая процесс описания поведения обьектов и иерархии классов для конкретного приложения.

Целью данного обзора является введение в особенности современных методов и средств проектирования информационных систем, основанных на использовании CASE-технологии. Читатель должен получить возможность принятия обоснованного, а не волевого решения относительно использования этих технологий. Приводимые в обзоре рекомендации могут способствовать успешному внедрению CASE-средств и уменьшить риск неправильных инвестиций. Несмотря на высокие потенциальные возможности CASE-технологии (увеличение производительности труда, улучшение качества программных продуктов, поддержка унифицированного и согласованного стиля работы) далеко не все разработчики информационных систем, использующие CASE-средства, достигают ожидаемых результатов. Существуют различные причины возможных неудач, но, видимо, основной причиной является неадекватное понимание сути программирования информационных систем и применения CASE-средств. Необходимо понимать, что процесс проектирования и разработки информационной системы на основе CASE-технологии не может быть подобен процессу приготовления пищи по поваренной книге. Всегда следует быть готовым к новым трудностям, связанным с освоением новой технологии, последовательно преодолевать эти трудности и последовательно добиваться нужных результатов. Обзор предназначен для начинающих и опытных разработчиков информационных систем, для руководителей проектов и системных аналитиков.

This in-depth programming guide explains how and where COM and COM+ fit into the new .NET world, demonstrates the new technologies that are available in .NET, and shows how to interoperate between COM/COM+ and .NET.

The advent of agile methodologies and test-driven development has brought software testing to the forefront of application development. Yet in today's harried rush-to-market development environment, organizations must find a delicate balance between product release and product quality.

This book was motivated by my experience in teaching the course E&CE 250: Algorithms and Data Structures in the Computer Engineering program at the University of Waterloo. I have observed that the advent of object-oriented methods and the emergence of object-oriented design patterns has lead to a profound change in the pedagogy of data structures and algorithms. The successful application of these techniques gives rise to a kind of cognitive unification: Ideas that are disparate and apparently unrelated seem to come together when the appropriate design patterns and abstractions are used.

Leverage the quality and productivity benefits of patternswithout the complexity! Design Patterns Explained, Second Edition is the field's simplest, clearest, most practical introduction to patterns. Using dozens of updated Java examples, it shows programmers and architects exactly how to use patterns to design, develop, and deliver software far more effectively. You'll start with a complete overview of the fundamental principles of patterns, and the role of object-oriented analysis and design in contemporary software development. Then, using easy-to-understand sample code, Alan Shalloway and James Trott illuminate dozens of today's most useful patterns: their underlying concepts, advantages, tradeoffs, implementation techniques, and pitfalls to avoid. Many patterns are accompanied by UML diagrams. Building on their best-selling First Edition, Shalloway and Trott have thoroughly updated this book to reflect new software design trends, patterns, and implementation techniques. Reflecting extensive reader feedback, they have deepened and clarified coverage throughout, and reorganized content for even greater ease of understanding

Written for both experienced and new users, Design Verification with e gives you a broad coverage of e. It stresses the practical verification perspective of e rather than emphasizing only its language aspects.

Whether you have a small team that is already closely aligned with your customers or a large team in a gigantic or multinational organization, you will find in these pages a wealth of ideas to challenge, inspire, and encourage you and your team members to substantially improve your software development.

This text provides a thorough and systematic analysis of XP practices, proposing better ways of achieving XP's agile goals that are applicable to a much wider range of projects.

A brief introduction to functional programming is given using the J programming language for examples. Several examples show the expressive power of functional languages and their application to topics in mathematics. Use of the J language as a substitute for mathematical notation is discussed.

This introduction to programming places computer science in the core of a liberal arts education. Unlike other introductory books, it focuses on the program design process. This approach fosters a variety of skills — critical reading, analytical thinking, creative synthesis, and attention to detail — that are important for everyone, not just future computer programmers. The book exposes readers to two fundamentally new ideas. First, it presents program design guidelines that show the reader how to analyze a problem statement; how to formulate concise goals; how to make up examples; how to develop an outline of the solution, based on the analysis; how to finish the program; and how to test. Each step produces a well-defined intermediate product. Second, the book comes with a novel programming environment, the first one explicitly designed for beginners. The environment grows with the readers as they master the material in the book until it supports a full-fledged language for the whole spectrum of programming tasks. All the book's support materials are available for free on the Web. The Web site includes the environment, teacher guides, exercises for all levels, solutions, and additional projects.

The technologies discussed in this publication, the limitations on these technologies that technology and content owners seek to impose, and the laws actually limiting the use of these technologies are constantly changing. Thus, some of the hacks described in this publication may not work, may cause unintended harm to systems on which they are used, or may not be consistent with applicable user agreements. Your use of these hacks is at your own risk, and O'Reilly Media, Inc. disclaims responsibility for any damage or expense resulting from their use. In any event, you should take care that your use of these hacks does not violate any applicable laws, including copyright laws.

This book attempts to capture that subconscious list of heuristics in a concrete list backed up by real-world examples. The reader will become immediately aware that some heuristics are much stronger than others. The strength of a heuristic comes from the ramifications of violating it. The reader does not get a prioritized ordering of the heuristics. It is my feeling that in many cases the sense of priority is defined by a combination of the application domain and the user's needs and cannot be quantified here. For example, a common area of design where two heuristics might request opposite directions are those that trade complexity with flexibility. Ask yourself which attribute a software designer desires most, increased flexibility or decreased complexity, and you begin to see the problem of prioritizing heuristics.

There is more to "object-oriented" than application programming. Object-oriented methods have revolutionized the way analysts, designers, software engineers, project managers, and tool builders construct entire software systems. Object-Oriented System Development will help you to better understand the role of analysis and design in the object-oriented development process. Rather than subscribing to a particular object-oriented method, this book gives step-by-step instructions on how to put key object-oriented concepts to work in software construction. Many examples, including a full banking system, are developed throughout the book to illustrate the process of object-oriented software development from analysis, through design, and into implementation. With this book, you will learn how to: *use core object-oriented notions such as inheritance and encapsulation in analysis and design; *construct system models; *map designs to distributed-processing frameworks; *use prototypes more productively; *address system resource and performance issues; *use common tools and services; and *reuse declarative models, design architectures, and code. Although geared to software professionals involved in the development of medium, large, and distributed systems, Object-Oriented System Development is equally valuable to anyone who wants to gain a detailed technical perspective on the object-oriented software development process. "This book (Object-Oriented System Development) is for many different software professionals: analysts, designers, implementors, software engineers, project managers, students and teachers, and others."
