Structure Diagrams for Design Patterns Lectures
Here are a set of scanned images of the structure diagrams for each of the design patterns covered in the design patterns lectures. A big thanks to Naim Al Khatib for scanning these in and sending them to me!
Sample Code for Lectures 27 and 28
Lectures 27 and 28 makes reference to several refactoring examples. You can download the example code here: refactoring.tar.gz (6 KB) and refactoring.zip (27 KB). If you have problems with these links, try "right clicking" or "control clicking" on the link and select the "Download Link To..." or similarly named option and see if that works.
Sample Code for Lectures 25 and 26
Lectures 25 and 26 makes reference to implementations of particular design patterns. You can download that code here: patterns.tar.gz (2 KB) and patterns.zip (7 KB). If you have problems with these links, try "right clicking" or "control clicking" on the link and select the "Download Link To..." or similarly named option and see if that works.
Sample Code for Lecture 20
Lecture 20 makes reference to three implementations of a software system called SpeakForMe. You can download that code here: mb.tar.gz (4 KB) and mb.zip (12 KB). If you have problems with these links, try "right clicking" or "control clicking" on the link and select the "Download Link To..." or similarly named option and see if that works.

The author of our textbook maintains a page of links to interesting websites on object-oriented analysis and design. Be sure to check it out!
Use Case Examples from Lecture 9
I have scanned some of the example use cases from Lecture 9.
Argo UML
Argo UML is an open source design environment that supports the creation of object-oriented designs using the latest UML specifications. As an interesting aside, one of the founders of the project, Jason Robbin, used to be my roommate back in graduate school. Jason is a smart, hard-working guy who has accomplished a lot using the open source style of software development.

Cetus Links
Cetus Links claims to have over 18,000 links to information on Objects and Components!

Cockburn's Use Case Website
Cockburn maintains his own website on use cases: <http://www.usecases.org/>. This website provides templates for Cockburn's use cases in a variety of formats.

DIA
No DIA does not refer to our local international airport (besides its DEN not DIA !), but instead to a Unix tool called dia that can help you draw UML diagrams.

Interaction Architect
Here's an article from the Interaction Architect website that discusses 13 common objections to performing requirements analysis, and why you should not believe them! The page seems focused on website design, but the objections are generic enough to be useful outside that domain.

HP Use Case Template
Here is a PDF document describing a use case template developed by the Hewlett-Packard Software Initiative.

The Object Management Group (or OMG) is a standards organization for the creation of standards releated to object technology. Check this site out for information on UML.
Object Mentor Articles
This site contains lots of articles on object-oriented design, written by a well known author in the OO A&D field, Robert C. Martin.

Patterns
Three links related to patterns.
