Having some familiarity with these methodologies is valuable to anyone involved in software development. If you're doing your own modelling by choice at work, then these tools may not be appropriate for you. If you are a lone coder, or part of a small, tight team, then they'll be more work than they're worth. But be sure to read the first sentence of this paragraph again. Learning analysis and design principles isn't a waste of time, even if you don't end up doing formal models. -- Darrin Chandler | Phoenix BSD Users Group [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://bsd.phoenix.az.us/ http://www.stilyagin.com/ |
