* Describes Agile Modeling Driven Design (AMDD) and Test-Driven Design (TDD) approaches, database refactoring, database encapsulation strategies, and tools that support evolutionary techniques

* Agile software developers often use object and relational database (RDB) technology together and as a result must overcome the impedance mismatch

* The author covers techniques for mapping objects to RDBs and for implementing concurrency control, referential integrity, shared business logic, security access control, reports, and XML

* An agile foundation describes fundamental skills that all agile software developers require, particularly Agile DBAs

* Includes object modeling, UML data modeling, data normalization, class normalization, and how to deal with legacy databases

* Scott W. Ambler is author of Agile Modeling (0471202827), a contributing editor with Software Development (www.sdmagazine.com), and a featured speaker at software conferences worldwide
