Drawing on his unsurpassed experience as a mentor and consultant, Larman helps you understand evolutionary requirements and use cases, domain object modeling, responsibility-driven design, essential OO design, layered architectures, Gang of Four design patterns, GRASP, iterative methods, an agile approach to the Unified Process (UP), and much more.
