Naked Objects

This free book provides a comprehensive introduction to the concept of designing business systems from ‘naked objects’ and to using the Naked Objects framework.

Book Description

The book will appeal primarily to two kinds of reader: object modellers who have at least some knowledge of Java programming (or want to acquire it), and Java developers who have some knowledge of object modelling (or want to acquire it). Indeed one of the messages in this book is that the notions of business object modelling and object-oriented programming are much more synergistic than is conventionally realised.
