Chapter 3. Case Studies

 --Mark Twain

Introduction

These case study problems (starting on p. 43) were chosen because they're familiar to many people, yet rich with complexity and interesting design problems. That allows us to concentrate on learning fundamental OOA/D, requirements analysis, UML and patterns, rather than explaining the problems.
