Visual Modeling with Rational Rose 2002 and UML
Fully updated to cover Rational Rose 2002, this third edition of Quatrani’s classic besteller, retains the highly effective and simple approach to visual modeling
Thoroughly updated and fully compliant with Rational Rose 2002, the latest release of the industrys most popular software modeling tool.
Simplified, useful case study helps the reader understand the core concepts of modeling and how to use UML effectively.
Foreword by Grady Booch. The third edition of this popular book retains the practical approach to teaching visual modeling techniques and the industry standard Unified Modeling Language. Author Terry Quatrani, the Rose Evangelist from Rational Software Corporation, still uses the simplified case study (a course registration system for a fictional university) that has taught thousands of readers how to analyze and design an application using UML, and how to implement the application using Rational Rose. The screen shots and Rational Rose instructions have been updated to reflect the release of Rational Rose 2002. After a short history of the evolution of UML and a guide to the basic terms of software engineering, the book introduces the concept of requirements, use cases, and class diagrams. Further chapters move toward defining an architecture and even refining the design within the incremental methodology of Rational Rose.
Terry Quatrani is the Rose Evangelist at Rational Software Corporation, and author of the first two editions of this book. She is responsible for successfully training and transitioning Fortune 500 companies to object technology. Prior to joining Rational, she worked for General Electric, where she worked with Jim Rumbaugh and was one of the founding consultants of the GE Advanced Concepts Center.

.NET Framework Essentials is an objective, concise, and technical overview of the new Microsoft .NET Framework for developing web applications and services.Specifically written for intermediate to advanced VB, C/C++, Java, and Delphi developers, .NET Framework Essentials is also useful to system architects and leaders who are assessing tools for future projects. The authors devote special attention to the writing of .NET components plus web applications and services.
Designed in the highly regarded O’Reilly Cookbook format, ADO.NET Cookbook is strikingly different from other books on the subject. It isn’t bogged down with pages of didactic theory. The ADO.NET Cookbook focuses exclusively on providing developers with easy-to-find coding solutions to real problems. ADO.NET Cookbook is a comprehensive collection of over 150 solutions and best practices for everyday dilemmas. For each problem addressed in the book, there’s a solution–a short, focused piece of code that programmers can insert directly into their applications. And ADO.NET Cookbook is more than just a handy compilation of cut-and-paste C# and VB.NET code. ADO.NET Cookbook offers clear explanations of how and why the code works, warns of potential pitfalls, and directs you to sources of additional information, so you can learn to adapt the problem-solving techniques to different situations. This is a painless way for developers who prefer to learn by doing to expand their skills and productivity, while solving the pressing problems they face every day. These time-saving recipes include vital topics like connecting to data, retrieving and managing data, transforming and analyzing data, modifying data, binding data to .NET user interfaces, optimizing .NET data access, enumerating and maintaining database objects, and maintaining database integrity. The diverse solutions presented here will prove invaluable over and over again, for ADO.NET programmers at all levels, from the relatively inexperienced to the most sophisticated.
ADO.NET is Microsoft’s latest data access technology, and, as an integral component of the .NET framework, is far more than simply an upgrade of an existing technology. ADO.NET is a large set of .NET classes that enable us to interact with data sources, manipulate data, and communicate with other applications and Web Services in entirely new ways.This book provides a wealth of information about the ADO.NET. We describe the features and how to use them, as well as providing advice and explanation that will enable you to use ADO.NET effectively. The code examples are concise, and demonstrate how to use a specific techniques rather than how to build entire applications.
This handbook offers a structured approach for developing a wide range of project management capabilities through the implementation of project management office (PMO) functionality. It describes 20 PMO functions that can be considered by project and business managers alike in conjunction with their efforts to define and develop an effective approach to project oversight, control and support. The PMO model defined in this handbook helps managers at all levels in the organization to understand and apply professional practices in project management, and to adapt and integrate relevant business practices for use in the project management environment.
