by Alistair Cockburn (Author)
Experience the raw, unannotated version of the original course, Design In Object Technology, created by Dr. Alistair Cockburn. In the 1990s, Dr. Cockburn was one of the leading methodologists in the new area of object-oriented design. Hired by the IBM Consulting Group to create their methodology for object-technology projects, he taught the entire design team on a live project all they would need to know to run the project they were embarking on.
This book is that course.
Offering a rare glimpse into a moment in time where the standards and practices of object technology were being chartered by the leaders of the day, this book gives an unfiltered look into the approach and techniques used to educate practitioners.
Now, in 2021, that course has historical significance. It was at the time a tour-de-force of complete project education, from project management tips to requirements gathering to software design. It set the stage for modern "agile" development techniques.
Old-timers will enjoy seeing the presentation of these core topics. Newcomers can learn subtleties of techniques they may only have heard of. Everyone will enjoy the depth and liveliness of what might otherwise be a boring Powerpoint deck.
