Did he wrote about it also ? > Oh yes! Here is the sad story of Gradykin Boochwalker. Grady Booch was part of the initial Rational team. The company started by writing the ROLM/Data General (3rd validated compiler), then they designed their own Ada compiler, and the R1000, a machine whose hardware was specially tailored for Ada development. At that time, Booch wrote "Software Engineering with Ada" (translated in French by J-P. Rosen ;-) ), a book that laid the basis of (composition) OOD. He then wrote "Software Components with Ada", a book that discussed all usual data structures. The code is still available off the net as "the Booch components". Then, Rational gave up on the idea of a dedicated development machine. They saw that the market was going C++, and Booch turned to the dark side of the source... -- --------------------------------------------------------- J-P.
