The BON method for analysis and design of object-oriented software is a means of extending the higher-level concepts of the Eiffel programming language into the realm of analysis and design aided by a graphical notation akin to but different from UML. BON is described in depth in the book //Seamless Object-Oriented Software Architecture//, Prentice Hall 1994, by Kim Waldén and Jean-Marc Nerson.  The book is out of print but is available as a [[http://www.bon-method.com/book_print_a4.pdf|pdf]].

   * **Informal Labs**: In addition to the assignments, Labtest, and project, you will also be provided with 5 Labs (provided one week in advance of the due date). We have scheduled an informal 60 minute session in LAS1006 every Monday 5.30 - 6.30pm, so that you can work in the Prism facility with a TA present to provide help. Doing these exercises is an important step in developing your design skills. You can, of course, also do the Labs on your own time provided you submit them by the deadline. You can also ask questions in the forum or attend regular office hours.
