The previous editions of this book have taught tens of thousands how to apply the concepts and ideas behind object technology to design successful software applications. This revision will bring the book up to date with the many changes in technology that have happened since the second edition was first published in 1994. New topics covered in the third edition include the Unified Software Development Process, UML, Patterns, Java, and Components.
