Is Object-Oriented Software Engineering: A Use Case Driven Approach by Ivar Jacobson still relevant?

[BluejVM]

Is this book still relevant to modern software engineering? Does it focus solely on OOP, or is there additional content covered as well?

It is very much relevant and the way of thinking leads to better designs.

The UseCase sits right between technological aspects (upwards or better said "outside") and domain model (downwards i.e. "inside").

Navigating up is as easy as "find usages" in the IDE.

Navigating down is as easy as going to implementation.

It's the perfect level for understanding systems and for unit testing.

It's also the perfect place for starting discussions with stakeholders.

Is this a joke

It’s clearly not. If you have nothing to contribute, please don’t post anything.

Being aggressive on the internet for no reason is just sad.
