Product Description
Product Description
—Alistair Cockburn, author, Writing Effective Use Cases and Surviving OO Projects“Too few people have a knack for explaining things. Fewer still have a handle on software analysis and design. Craig Larman has both.”
—John Vlissides, author, Design Patterns and Pattern Hatching“People often ask me which is the best book to introduce them to the world of OO design. Ever since I came across it Applying UML and Patterns has been my unreserved choice.”
—Martin Fowler, author, UML Distilled and Refactoring“This book makes learning UML enjoyable and pragmatic by incrementally introducing it as an intuitive language for specifying the artifacts of object analysis and design. It is a well written introduction to UML and object methods by an expert practitioner.”
—Cris Kobryn, Chair of the UML Revision Task Force and UML 2.0 Working Group
- A brand new edition of the world’s most admired introduction to object-oriented analysis and design with UML
- Fully updated for UML 2 and the latest iterative/agile practices
- Includes an all-new case study illustrating many of the book’s key points
Applying UML and Patterns is the world’s #1 business and college introduction to “thinking in objects”—and using that insight in real-world object-oriented analysis and design. Building on two widely acclaimed previous editions, Craig Larman has updated this book to fully reflect the new UML 2 standard, to help you master the art of object design, and to promote high-impact, iterative, and skillful agile modeling practices.
Developers and students will learn object-oriented analysis and design (OOA/D) through three iterations of two cohesive, start-to-finish case studies. These case studies incrementally introduce key skills, essential OO principles and patterns, UML notation, and best practices. You won’t just learn UML diagrams—you’ll learn how to apply UML in the context of OO software development.
Drawing on his unsurpassed experience as a mentor and consultant, Larman helps you understand evolutionary requirements and use cases, domain object modeling, responsibility-driven design, essential OO design, layered architectures, “Gang of Four” design patterns, GRASP, iterative methods, an agile approach to the Unified Process (UP), and much more. This edition’s extensive improvements include
- A stronger focus on helping you master OOA/D through case studies that demonstrate key OO principles and patterns, while also applying the UML
- New coverage of UML 2, Agile Modeling, Test-Driven Development, and refactoring
- Many new tips on combining iterative and evolutionary development with OOA/D
- Updates for easier study, including new learning aids and graphics
- New college educator teaching resources
- Guidance on applying the UP in a light, agile spirit, complementary with other iterative methods such as XP and Scrum
- Techniques for applying the UML to documenting architectures
- A new chapter on evolutionary requirements, and much more
Applying UML and Patterns, Third Edition, is a lucid and practical introduction to thinking and designing with objects—and creating systems that are well crafted, robust, and maintainable.

7 Years on I'm revisiting software engineering as a hobby and after discovering the missing design step to software development I stumbled across this book while looking to study UML further. I bought this book 18 months ago and was deterred by its shear size, there was no way I was gonna digest this book for fun. Here I am having demolished half the book in less than 48-hours (I confess I skipped some sections as to not get lost in the details). What I've managed to learn from this book is what my university degree should have taught (or maybe I just wasn't paying attention). Anyway, this book is the answer to my original question - how do you go from real-word problem to software solution?
What this book teaches you is that UML is just a language to communicate ideas. Good software development comes from a good design process, some good software design principles, and understanding of a few key design patterns. Thanks too the author's inclusion of the Unified Process, GRASP, and GoF patterns and use of UML to communicate it has unveiled a methodical way of building software solutions to said problems. What this book does well is fill in the blanks; what classes should I use? what should the classes do? what methods should it have? And combining the UP, GRASP, GOF, and UML you'll have a good chance of answering those questions.
I consider this book essential reading for all software designers and engineers. Don't be deterred by its size. Once you get your head around how to read this book IT WILL BE WORTH IT! I can't stress this enough. It lays the necessary foundation and cues for good design work. It'll save you a ton of work, effort, time and heartache further down the road.
I don't expect to have internalized everything in the first pass, but after a few passes and internalizing as much as I can, I suspect that maybe I'll be creating well designed software applications ... just for fun.
Not just a UML book. Not just a book on Patterns. A complete end-to-end walk through of a project following an Agile process from initial requirements anaylsis, use cases, sequence diagrams, system design, domain models. This is a big book so it's not a light introduction but it's extremely well structured and well written and takes those relatively new to Object Oriented Design and Analysis through all the buzz-words and shows the reader where the UML, Design Patterns, and Agile Methods actually help you do a better job and be a happier and much wiser developer.
