8 Persistence and Database Design
Strong analysis and design are crucial in the successful development of any enterprise information system. This book will teach you the underlying theory behind designing large-scale object-oriented systems and will show you how to put this theory into practice. The author strongly believes in the philosophy of “learning by doing” and provides numerous examples, exercises and questions which allow you to try your hand at what you’ve just read and, in so doing, cement your understanding. The book recognises and identifies the many challenges that software development can throw up and arms you with the practical knowledge and adaptability to overcome these issues.
