Peter Coad is perhaps the world’s most
experienced object-model builder: he has developed many hundreds of
object models, within nearly every industry imaginable. He is the
developer of the Coad method, a widely-practiced, comprehensive
approach to software development. Peter Coad had also conducted
hundreds of workshops, helping thousands of developers find answers
to their questions, and build better object applications. He believes
that the best way to communicate the best insights is by example. "I
seek to communicate (in designs, in books, in software) with
simplicity, clarity and brevity -- and in doing so, by example,
encourage others to do the same."
Join Peter Coad for a fast-paced, three-part presentation.
In part one, you'll learn and apply archetypes in color (little forms that
appear again and again in effective models) and the domain-neutral component
(a template of 12 classes, factored out from hundreds of models).
In part two, you'll see a sampling of 61 domain-specific components, selected
from make or buy (material-resource, manufacturing, facility, and inventory), sell (cash sale, product sale, customer account), relate (human resource, relationship), and support (accounting, project activity, and document). In part three, you'll find a process for using the components to deliver frequent, tangible, working results, called feature-driven development.
Peter will also deliver a a short, top-features tour of Together/J 3: patterns, components, and simultaneous round-trip engineering. Peter Coad (pronounced "code") is the lead author of the first book to integrate color and enterprise components intoa model-building approach. Peter is one of the world's most experienced model builders (many hundreds of models in nearly every industry imaginable). His current consulting practice focuses on Java-inspired modeling for building better enterprise-wide applications. His company, Together Software Corporation, delivers workshops, mentoring, and software, "Bringing Teams
Together." pc@togethersoft.com www.togethersoft.com

and educated teams on how to apply structured analysis and design for
real-time systems. Developed a practical approach for applying
structured analysis and design to a large-scale air traffic control
development project. Authored a design guide. Led others in
implementing that approach.
"Java Modeling in Color with UML" is the first presentation (and recently released book) to teach software design in color. In it, Peter Coad uses four colors to represent four archetypes, little forms that appear again and again in effective models.Given a color, you'll know the kind of attributes, links, methods, and interactions that class is likely to have. Exciting, dynamic models. For any business. For every business. Little color building blocks that will help you build better models and get the recognition you deserve. Color and archetypes are only the beginning. Coad goes further, plugging those archetypes into a domain-neutral component. This 12-class domain-neutral component is a factoring-out of useful model shaping based upon many hundreds of component and object models. Every model Coad has built over the past decade follows the shape and responsibilities expressed in this one component. Some call this one component, "modeling secrets revealed".
Coad goes even further, taking the domain-neutral component and applying it in a wide variety of business areas. So you end
up with specific examples for your business, examples you can relate to, readily understand, and benefit from. "Java Modelingin Color with UML" delivers 61 ready-to-use, domain-specific components--in the forthcoming book and on its CD (the CD
includes Together(R)/J Whiteboard Edition for modeling in color, along with the component models and skeletal Java source
code). These in-depth, annotated examples will help you build better Java models and apps. Now you can have at your
fingertips an exclusive collection of expert examples. It's almost like having Peter Coad at your side, guiding you toward
better and more effective design. Real business content. Highlighted modeling tips. Examples that really make sense. You'll find components in each of these categories: make or buy (material-resource, manufacturing, facility, and inventory), sell (cash sale, product sale, customer account), relate (human-resource, relationship), and support (accounting, project activity, and document). On top of all of this, Coad presents Feature-Driven Development (FDD), the process for getting the most out of your Java modeling and development. FDD is a proven-in-practice way to take Java models and produce frequent, tangible,
working results. With FDD, you'll not only be able to deliver frequent results, you'll also be able to know exactly where youare in a project, what your completion percentage really is, even when developing in Internet time.
