Tailored to overcome these limitations, Codecharts can elegantly model roadmaps and blueprints for Java, C++, and C# programs of any size clearly, precisely, and at any level of abstraction. More practically, significant productivity gains for programmers using tools supporting Codecharts have been demonstrated in controlled experiments.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHundreds of figures and examples in this book illustrate how Codecharts are used to:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003eVisualize the building-blocks of object-oriented design\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003eCreate bird's-eye roadmaps of large programs with minimal symbols and no clutter\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003eModel blueprints of patterns, frameworks, and other design decisions\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003eBe exactly sure what diagrams claim about programs and reason rigorously about them\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eTools supporting Codecharts are also shown here to:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003eRecover design from plain Java and visualize the program's roadmap\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003eVerify conformance to design decision with a click of a button\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis classroom-tested book includes two main parts:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePractice\u003c\/b\u003e (Part I) offers experienced programmers, software designers and software engineering students practical tools for representing and communicating object-oriented design.
