This book is for the software developer in the trenches. It describes Agile Software Development from a practitioner's point of view. Through dozens of case studies it describes and teaches the principles of object oriented software design, the patterns that embody those principles, and the practices that enable individuals and teams to use those principles.
This is a book of Java and C++ code -- lots of code. Every point the book makes about software development it amplifies with examples in code backed up with UML diagrams. What's more, the code and UML are not presented in completed form, leaving the reader to wonder how they got there. Rather the code and UML are presented in stages, from humble beginnings to completed projects. By reading it, and the accompanying text, you will see the process of software design.
If you want to learn UML, if you want to learn how to design software, if you want to learn design patterns, or if you want to learn the best practices of software development, this is the book to read.
