Creating a "toy" OO/AO language...
This isn't really a question as much as a request for opinions/ comments. I've decided to create a toy OO language. I know, there are plenty of good wheels, but I like to reinvent them anyway... I'm creating this language to solve a meta-problem when designing interactive fiction (text based adventure) games.... 10 Nov 2007 08:41

Use Case Alternative Flows and Activity & Sequence Diagrams
I have a question on recommended modeling practices. . . . I know how to specify alternative flows for a use case. However, should those alternative flows be added to the normal flow in an Activity Diagram? Also, should there be a separate Sequence Diagram for each alternative flow?

What are your favorite books on OOP? ( Websites? )
Responding to C.... When you say OOP, do you mean generic OO development or do you mean a separate stage of OO development that is distinct from OOA and OOD? If the former, then check out the "Books" category of my blog. ************* There is nothing wrong with me that could not be cured by a capful of... 26 Oct 2007 23:34

Survey about Visual Annotations for Software Models
Dear software practitioner, During software development, we often experience problems regarding the compilability, quality (e.g., maintainability), or conformance of our software.

How much OO is too much OO?
Hello There seems to be lots of information out there on how to use good OO practices, principles and patterns, but it's not clear to me how far to go with these, and when. It seems some people go full tilt with all projects. For example, I read one post where the author states his base classes are always abs... 25 Sep 2007 14:43
