Grady Booch On Software Engineering

Posted by timothy on from the spoken-word dept.

aebrain writes "Grady Booch is one of the Big Names in Software Engineering. If you use OOP or UML you're making use of his work. There's an interview with him on .NET that's interesting reading ('Language was once Key - Now it's Design'). Lots about the impedence mismatch between SQL and OOP, what the future holds re .NET and Java, and when UML modelling isn't appropriate."

    I'm sure this was meant to refer to the Software Engineering Body Of Knowledge (SWEBOK). It almost did.
