Focusing on object-oriented technology, this collection features Grady Booch's influential writings and articles on the Booch method, aimed at software professionals. It addresses the essential components of successful object-oriented projects, including model notation, semantics, and the processes for creating models. Many contributions have been revised to align with contemporary perspectives in the Unified Modeling Language (UML), making it a relevant resource for understanding and applying Booch's methodologies in modern software development.

Object Technology Series: Objects, Components, and Frameworks With UML
The Catalysis™ Approach
- 785 pages
- 28 hours of reading
Here is the first book to introduce Catalysis, a next-generation method for constructing open component systems from frameworks, based on UML and OMG standards. Using Catalysis, programmers have the ability to describe a complex system based on content perspectives or views. Each view defines a pattern with supporting models. Catalysis provides well-defined consistency rules across models and the mechanisms for composing views. .

Object Solutions is a direct outgrowth of Grady Booch's experience with object-oriented project in development around the world. This book focuses on the development process and is the perfect resource for developers and managers who want to implement object technologies for the first time or refine their existing object-oriented development practice. The book is divided into two major sections. The first four chapters describe in detail the process of object-oriented development in terms of inputs, outputs, products, activities, and milestones. The remaining ten chapters provide practical advice on key issues including management, planning, reuse, and quality assurance. Drawing upon his knowledge of strategies used in both successful and unsuccessful projects, Grady Booch offers pragmatic advice for applying object-technologies and controlling projects effectively.
