Features: This book is designed for beginners and intermediate users of RationalXDE and readers who are newly interested in the industry. When writing this book, we considered the perspective of readers familiar with object-oriented analysis, design, and development. Readers should be familiar with the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and object-oriented development, especially using Java or Microsoft.NET for object-oriented development. If you are not yet familiar with the Unified Modeling Language (UML), please read the appendix "Introduction to UML." XDE is a new tool contributed by Rational to efficiently and effectively develop software products. This book will outline the role and function of XDE in the software development lifecycle; introduce how to create analysis models, design models, and data models; how to generate code and keep code synchronized with models; how to use patterns in XDE models and create your own patterns; how to publish models and generate report materials; and how to create and use reusable resource specifications. This book is suitable for beginners and intermediate users of RationalXDE, as well as readers interested in software development.
