[comp.object] Recommendations of books about object oriented design

jgm@student.ecok.edu (John McGrew) (04/19/91)

     Nick Jacobs asked for recommendations of books about object-oriented
design.  I can recommend the following which I will use this summer as
supplementary references in a course on OODesign and Programming (using C++)

	Booch, Grady, Object Oriented Design with Applications, 
	Benjamin Cummings, 1991, ISBN 0-8053-0091-0

	Rumbaugh, James, et. al., Object-Oriented Modeling and Design,
	Prentice Hall, 1991, ISBN 0-13-629841-9

     The Rumbaugh book is written by a group of software developers at
GE who have used OO methods for several years and have built several 
tools to assist them.  It begins with object modeling and progresses
through design and implementation using OO methods consistently. I plan
to try their approach with my students this summer.
