Based on Neal Goldstein's widely acclaimed Object-Oriented Design and C++ seminars at Apple Computer, Inc., Developing Object-Oriented Software for the Macintosh takes Macintosh software developers step by step through the object-oriented software development process. This is the first book to deal with the complete process of developing object-oriented software, from analysis through design and programming. Programmers, systems analysts, managers,and anyone concerned with Macintosh software development will benefit from the concepts and methodology of this practical, hands-on guide.The book first covers the basics of creating object-oriented software, focusing on the essential concepts and principles. It then presents the author's acclaimed Solution Based Modeling methodology and notation for analysis, design, and programming in object-oriented development. Special attention is paid throughout to problems inherent in large-scale Macintosh development, and code examples are provided in C++ and Object Pascal.You will also learn how to:Design efficient, maintainable object-oriented programsDesign for portablility to other computersCommunicate object-oriented designs effectively to both programmers and non-programmers.Control projects from initial requirements through the development process.Developing Object-Oriented software for the Macintosh is essential reading for all Macintosh software professionals.
