Product Description One of the first textbooks to be fully up-to-date with the new and expanded UML 2.0 standard, this is an ideal introduction to the Unified Modelling Language for students learning about object and component-based software design and development. The book encourages a pragmatic and open-minded approach to real-life software engineering. It places UML in the context of the software engineering discipline as a whole, providing students with a practical understanding of best practice in software design and development. The authors present a broad view of the subject area, enabling students to see for themselves how different practices may be appropriate for different situations. The book is divided into four parts covering: *Part 1 - Introductory Concepts *Part 2 - UML, the language *Part 3 - Case studies *Part 4 - Applying UML in practice | ||

Good basic and quick book for UML If you have a general idea of SDLC, this is a perfect book for you. It doesn't bring you into detail but good enough to give you a general idea of all the static and dynamic diagrams. This is also a great book for students who do not want to dig too deep into a concept and not knowing how to apply them. EQ. | ||
Indepth, but hard to follow I found this book very hard to read at times, and tedious at other times. If you can stick with it long enough, it starts to make sense, and there as a ton of very good information to be found. It is well written and logically organised, I just wish it were a bit more enjoyable to read. | ||
Very good for STUDENTS This book touches on all the right subjects but does not go -in my opinion- deep into any. I like the sequence in which the information is organised and presented. It is nice to include case studies, but I am not sure about the completeness of the case studies or if, in fact, these can be implemented from the design provided. It is a novelty to provide discussion topics very often throughout the text, but it would have been better, if not essential, to discuss the issues in the text or direct us to some other resource where the discussions take place. All in all, there are other books that do the job better of introducing UML or discussing advanced issues, but this text is probably the best to be used on an undergraduate course. Its value to software engineers in the industry, though, is questionable. | ||
Informative, question and answer style. The book is written in an Question/Answer format (i.e., FAQ). Very different from the rest of the UML topics, narrative or reference styles provided in most UML books. Unfortunately, the price seems a little steep, until you consider that there are some valuable bits of information in this book that seem to be missing from most UML books. Mostly the "why?" of UML. That makes the book worth every penny. If you are deep into UML and want answers to some of the more obscure issues, this is a good book to read through. | ||
