Rating:  Summary: OO Sofware Analysis and Design in the Real World Review: I enjoyed reading this book. After reading several academic books on OO practice, I was really none the wiser. But now I can refer to this book on how to apply all those techniques. The case study details the good, the bad, and the downright ugly parts of the development lifecycle - it's reassuring to know that someone else gets up from the keyboard thinking "have I thought of everything ? Is this design really right ??"
Rating:  Summary: Excellent case study for real world UML Review: I had just completed taking a course on UML notation and was itching for a real world example of its application. This book was just what I was looking for. A must for anyone who thinks there is no such thing as a workable software development process.
Rating:  Summary: Excellent Book, with real cases worked with UML Review: I had read this book and I think it's great, you can see an real example from beginning to end. UML is show on this book as an easy methodology to be applied on real cases without any problems. Some pleople need to read this book to undertands how to apply UML methodology as an easy thing. Thanks to Jesse Liberty for write this book.
Rating:  Summary: Please more Books in the spirit of "Clouds to Code". Review: I very must enjoyed your (Jesse's) books "Clouds to Code" and "Begining Object Oriented Analysis and Design (with C++)" I think that theese 2 books have had more influence on my own understanding of OO and Software development than any other books i have read. Clouds to Code is a truly unique book that really has inspired me to investigate Software Project Management and Design Patterns futher. I remember thinking... "Boy, this is the way I want to go..!" Continue the great work... and please more Books in the spirit of "Clouds..". Best Regards Thomas Nick Andersen M.Sc.E.E Development - Software, Barco

Rating:  Summary: Nice work, though not momentous Review: It was a nice concept of documenting the procedures of the project simultaneously with the progress of the project, though not so well implemented. Hoping for better implemented, build on this style books in the future :)
Rating:  Summary: Excellent insight and invaluable experience Review: Jesse has put in words what I feel all these years. The paradox of the software development business. The book also gives very practical advices on software development approaches from market, management, technology and human perspective.
Rating:  Summary: how to make bug-ridden software Review: Jesse Liberty appears to be a good follower of Bill Gates. Microsoft development tools are praised all the time, and Chapter 1 & 2 teaches you how to make bug-ridden software and make money with it. But the rest of the book gives you some good tips about OO software development.

Rating:  Summary: Do not waste your money and your time Review: Most programmers tend to jump into projects with both feet and not spend the time to work all the kinks out of their thought processes. While this method occasionally works out well for simple, single-programmer projects, it certainly does not work when multiple programmers are involved!This book was helpful to me personally by streamlining the design stages and helping push the timeframe to write code into the future AFTER a system has been fully fleshed in. This minimizes code rewites because of rashly-made design assumptions. Finally, the book emphasizes a semi-strict discipline which cannot hurt any programmer. The ample discussion of experienced pitfalls serves as a good example of what not to do!
