The Object Modeling Process in a Nutshell

Abstract

Let’s look in on the home builder whom we met in the Introduction to our book. He’s just returned from a seminar entitled ‘Blue Stars: A Builder’s Dream Come True’. He now knows all about the unique properties of blue stars, and appreciates why they are superior construction materials — just as we’ve learned about the unique properties of software objects as application ’construction materials’ earlier in the book. But, he is still inexperienced with actually using blue stars in a construction project: in particular, he doesn’t yet know how to develop a blueprint suitable for a home that is to be built from blue stars. And, we still need to learn how to develop a ‘blueprint’ for a software system that is to be constructed from objects. This is the focus of Part 2 of this book.
