In the OO world, there are a number of TLA's (ThreeLetterAcronyms?) that have been bandied about since the early days of black-and-white monitors, which are still used today, and where many of those using these terms don't really have any idea what they really mean and represent. MVC - ModelViewController? - is one. Another is CRC - Class-Responsibility-Collaborator - an agile modeling technique used in RDD (ResponsibilityDrivenDesign).

Whether using an agile development process or not, the creation of a consistent, stabile and maintainable object-oriented software architecture requires a systematic analysis and design. The definition of key classes, subsystems and hierarchies has a fundamental influence on the quality of the software and the degree of reusability. ResponsibilityDrivenDesign provides an easy-to-understand and effective method of doing this.

This workshop will deal with established analysis and design principles. In it, JosephPelrine will give an overview of CrC (and it's baby brother, RrC) in the context of OO-Design in general, and RdD? in particular, and will have participants ante up for a number of CrC card games. Upon completion, participants will be able to identify key object classes and subsystems, and to use standard tools such as CrC cards and RdD? diagrams, collaborations and contracts to model the classes and their static and dynamic relationships to each other.

...and of course, a pleasant time will be had by all;-)

Bio note - JosephPelrine was lucky to have learned RdD? and CrC from RebeccaWirfsBrock? and JohnSarkela? back when he worked for DigiTalk?. For more information about him, follow the link to his name.
