For those who still believe that structured analysis is the greatest invention since peanut butter (which accounted for 50 percent of the U.S. peanut production in 2001 — bet you didn’t know that!), I’ve written a four-page retrospective summary of the topic in a just-published issue of ObjectView magazine. You can download it, free, as a ZIP file or a PDF by visiting this page. And if you get bored with my article, you’ll also find an interview with Kent Beck, an opinion on SOA from Grady Booch, and an explanation of why Matt Stephens doesn’t like Ruby (but he does love Italian cars, though he doesn’t tell us why).
And if you really like structured analysis, you should visit the Just Enough Structured Analysis wiki on my web site. Otherwise, you should go back to whatever you were doing before you stumbled upon this blog posting.
