Comments on the book (Note:
 book.)

	Seamless Object-Oriented Software Architecture

I ran into postings by one of the authors in comp.object, and was
enthusiast about his goals: 

- Seamlessness and reversibility, through pure object-oriented
  concepts (instead of ERDs and state machines!), in order to narrow
  the gap between design and implementation and _backwards_ (you never
  design from scratch!).
- Use of typed interfaces.
- Commitment to scalability and to real reuse (open and unplanned).

Well, the book is clever, technologically up-to-date, and pragmatic:
altogether applicable.

My enthusiasm however diluted progressively after the first chapters,
in the details of the method and the notation, which however probably
better than what I have seen so far (Coad/Yourdon, Rumbaugh, Booch,
and yes, including OMT++) didn't manage to convince me that a method
would be more of a help than of a burden.

In short, I can recommend to read all the part I and the chapter 6.
