Fred, I heard somewhere that IBM rely heavily on CRC cards during their OOD. As someone who is fairly new to OOD and UML, can you give me a "real" world feel of the relevance of use cases and the like.

You create a bunch of classes that perform functions you need done. 2. After a while, you notice that you are writing similar methods and code fragments in several of these classes. 3. So you abstract this, using one of three (or probably more) methods: a. Make those classes be subclasses of a generic class that does the common code; b. Make classes implement an interface, so that code that uses them can be generic; c. Provide convenience or singleton classes to do standard things. 4. Repeat from step 1. I agree completely (enough to excerpt and post it again! 8-) "The stuff we call "software" is not like anything that human society is used to thinking about. Software is something like a machine, and something like mathematics, and something like language, and something like thought, and art, and information... but software is not in fact any of those other things."
