Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The Universal Modelling Language (UML) is a flexible and comprehensive way to design and diagram any software development project. Building Web Applications with UML covers the Web Application Extension (WAE) for UML and includes enough background information about Web applications to ease traditional software analysts and designers into the world of the Web.
Author Jim Conallen divides the text into two logical parts, the first being dedicated to explaining the various Web application architectures out there and the second to the process of modelling such systems with UML. The first chapter concisely explains the basics of the standard elements of the Web such as HTML, HTTP, forms, frames, and session management. Subsequent chapters provide an excellent overview to server-side and client-side functionality, delving into key technologies such as Active Server Pages (ASP), Java applets, and XML.
The remainder of the book is devoted to the process of defining the requirements, architecture and design elements of Web applications using UML. The reader will learn about Use Cases, apply analysis and represent Web applications with the distinctive graphical elements of UML. A sample ASP application is used to illustrate the concepts. This material may be a level of abstraction above the working coder but is excellent for project managers and system architects. --Stephen W Plain, Amazon.com
Topics covered: Browser/Server interactions, Web page design elements, session management, dynamic client and server languages, Web security, model design, use cases, requirement specifications, analysis, sequence diagrams and class diagrams. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Product Description
The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is the standard modeling language for software systems. Using UML to model web application design allows designers to easily integrate web applications with other systems modeled in UML. Building Web Applications with UML, Second Edition presents an extension to UML suitable for web application design. Based on the author's own experience developing UML web applications, and incorporating helpful reader feedback from the first edition, the book identifies and addresses modeling problems unique to page based web applications, and offers a clear and straightforward solution. The reader is left with a clear understanding how to deal with the unique problems of modeling the design of page-based web applications, and how to take the model directly into working code.

This book is based upon the authors white paper, found on Rationals site, and it shows. The first half of the book is a complete waste of time, it summarises web technologies. If I wished to know about them, I would look into a dedicated book. If the first part is of any use to me, how on earth could I model something if I understand it so poorly, and if I do understand it, it's useless.
The second half explains how to model web pages, and is admittedly very useful, however the Whitepaper on Rationals site, covers much of the same information. Admittedly the bookl is more up to date, and slightly different, and what Rational would (I reckon) recommend, so it is probably necessary. It gives complete examples in the appendices which are useful, as many books on these sort of things, tend to avoid getting into anything resembling a useful example.
Basically the first half of the book is padding, because people don't like buying thin books. But the last half is good. If you need to model web pages, it's the only book I currently know about, and it *does* do the job well, when it gets round to it, so get it.
By the way, on the front cover it says 'Foreword by Grady Booch', I guess they must print this as standard, as the book doesn't even *have* a foreword. What a bunch of plonkers!
Format:Paperback
The book is in two parts. The first gives a good general round-up of existing technologies and applications. Part two gives a thorough and for me, enjoyable run-through of the most important aspects of UML, namely "Use cases" and "Sequence diagrams". I thought particularly good, the examples and the extensions for modelling client side. Client side modelling is difficult with all the different components, but this has helped me a lot.
There is a foreword by Grady Booch on p.xvii

I haven't finished the book yet but it (my copy at least) does have a forward by Grady Booch. The first 5 chapters set the scene, reviewing web technologies and their significance from a model(l)ing point of view. Not everyone who might be called upon to model some aspect of a web site (or learn how) is an expert on every technology. This is less than a third of the book, anyway. The book then covers process issues, which I'm finding useful and relevant. Finally, the unique selling point: the Web Application Extension for UML - the vital connection between the standard modeling language and one of its most important applications. I find Conallen's style readable and the book well-structured.
