Alexander, et al. , 1977 (available at amazon.com)
• 1980-s: Hillside Group - Beck, Ward,
Coplien, Booch, Kerth, Johnson, etc.
• 1995 - the famous book - "Design Patterns:

Common patterns - examples
in Java:
A 3-volume series "Patterns in Java" by Mark Grand contains approx.
135 patterns with Java code examples on CDs.
See patterns descriptions on Mark Grand's home
page which has outlines of all 3 volumes:
• vol1
- basic 41 patterns
• vol2
- 50 patterns that apply to phases of the software development cycle other
than design
• vol3
- 44 patterns for the enterprise
Here is a one-page compilation of all 3
outlines.

UML (Unified Modeling Language) - is used to develop
object-oriented programs.
UML was conceived by Rational and its chief scientist
Grady Booch (who soon joined forces with Ivar Jacobson and Jim Rumbaugh).
UML is an accepted standard of the Object Management
Group (OMG), home of CORBA (
http://www.omg.org/
).
UML specifies how to describe class (of objects),
object, association, responsibility, activity, interface, use case, package,
sequence, collaboration, and state.

- commercial version of ArgoUML called Poseidon for UML . The community
addition is free which includes all UML diagrams and all implemented diagram
elements. You can save and load projects, generate Java code, reverse engineer
from Java code and much more. It offers everything ArgoUML offers plus
some extra features like undo/redo, drag-and-drop, copy/cut/paste and a
better stability.

- a tool called Enterprise Architect. It is relatively cheap(less
than $200) and fullfills our needs which consist mostly of documenting
Use Cases, Class Diagrams and Sequence Diagrams. It also does code
generation.
