Real-Life MDA by Michael Guttman

Real-Life MDA by Michael Guttman

Model Driven Architecture (MDA) is an approach to software development that helps companies manage large, complex software projects and save development costs while allowing new technologies that come along to be readily incorporated. This book contains six case studies of real companies using MDA.

"[There is] need for this book: No one has published a similar compendium of MDA case studies—making a transition to new technology is not simply a technical affair, although many of us tend to overlook this pointThe authors are superb writers; these are people who have seen a lot in the industry and have a gift for articulating important trends." --David Frankel, consultant and author
