Building Application Frameworks:
OBJECT-ORIENTED FOUNDATIONS OF FRAMEWORK DESIGN
By providing reusable skeletons on which to build new applications, frameworks can save you countless hours and thousands (even millions) of dollars in development costs. Written and edited by some of the top names in the object- oriented programming world, this is the first complete study of building frameworks. Using examples drawn from successful implementations world-wide, it walks you through all the steps of a framework development project.

 

Implementing Application Frameworks:
OBJECT-ORIENTED FRAMEWORKS AT WORK
While frameworks can save your company millions in development costs over time, the initial investment can be quite high. This book/CD-ROM package helps you to reduce the cost of framework development by providing 40 case studies documenting the experiences framework builders and users at major corporations and research labs, world-wide. Throughout, the authors extract important lessons and highlight technical and organizational implementation practices that have been proven to yield the bigges pay off.

 
Domain-Specific Application Frameworks:
FRAMEWORKS EXPERIENCE BY INDUSTRY
Frameworks provide generic software architectures that can be reused, indefinitely, to generate new applications. But they don't readily translate from one business or industry domain to another. A telecommunications framework looks very different from a currency trading framework, for instance. Developers need instruction on how to build frameworks specific to the domains they program for. Now, this book/CD-ROM package gives them models-and much more. Each chapter is built around a case study reporting a major framework implementation or customization project.
 
Transition to Object-Oriented Software Development
This book will save you the frustration, wasted time, and massive cost overruns often associated with transitions to object-oriented technologies. Using numerous case studies, the authors identify the technical, management, and cultural challenges involved and show you how to overcome those challenges. They arm you with proven tactics for avoiding common traps and pitfalls. And they outfit you with a comprehensive transitioning framework for dealing with all aspects of gearing up to object-oriented technology.
