 A fine textbook for learning software design May 21, 2008

I used Introduction to Software Engineering Design in a graduate course. I found it a very useful text that gives rigorous treatment to the subject. It is a good complement to Larman's "Applying UML and Patterns". Fox is agnostic regarding agile versus heavyweight software development processes but goes into more details than Larman on the different levels of software design.
The book starts by placing software design in the context of design in general. It distinguishes software product design (requirements elicitation and evaluation) from software engineering design (what we normally associate with software design). Fox gives an overview of software product design and then concentrates on software engineering desgn for the remainder of the book.
I liked Fox's continuing case study, an automated irrigation system based on water sensors. He illustrates complete software architecture and detailed design documents using this case study.
Fox clearly illustrates the levels of software engineering design: architecture, mid-level design, and low-level design. He concentrates on component diagrams, class diagrams, sequence diagrams, and state machine diagrams and shows how they should be applied to the various levels of design. Fox shows how to apply design patterns and provides four chapters containing some of the most useful and frequently used patterns. He then applies these patterns to the case study.

When you have to buy it for a class, the rating doesn't really matter, right? My son (CS grad student) ended up dropping the class because he was so bored with what he termed, "busy work for a code monkey." He says the book isn't bad - read it in a couple of hours and you will have learned what there is to learn.
