The Rational Unified Process Made Understandable
15 Mar 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
In their extremely well-organized and comprehensive book, "IBM Rational Unified Process Reference and Certification Guide: Solution Designer", Ahmad K. Shuja and Jochen Krebs make the Rational Unified Process (RUP) understandable. This book provides both the structure and the detail necessary for IT Practitioners studying for certification, as well as applying RUP in their organizations. The authors succeeded in writing a certification study guide that is a pleasure to read from cover to cover. Their book is my favorite on the Rational Unified Process. I used it to mentor follow IT professionals on RUP, and to integrate our Solution Architecture Practice & Governance disciplines with our RUP-based SDLC discipline. This excellent book continues to serve as my primary reference to RUP. I recommend this book for anyone preparing for the RUP certification exam. I also recommend it for anyone who is serious about applying RUP within their organization.

Good Book for Passing the IBM RUP Exam
16 Feb 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This was the only book I used to pass the IBM Certified Solution Developer exam. I did very well on it. (I did do a little research on the internet also.) Prior to reading this book, I had no practical experience with RUP other than knowing its theoretical construct.
The book covers all the areas that you need to know for the exam, although there were a couple of terms that weren't in this book at all. That really surprised me, since this is the official IBM Press book. And I read this book very carefully.
I haven't given this book a higher rating because of 1) its organization and 2) the way it is written. I would recommend reading the first couple of chapters and then the last chapters to understand how RUP works. Then move into the chapters on UMA and the other areas.
The writing often isn't very clear. You have to read everything several times to make sure you really understand what the authors are trying to say. Much of what they write is ambiguous, or at worst, nebulous. The chapters were either written by one of the two authors or co-written, and this results in a jumbled presentation. There are several typos, including in the sample tests, that might lead you to get some answers wrong.
However, if you want to be confident of passing the exam, read this book carefully. I felt the exam matched the level of difficulty of the sample tests in the book. However, in taking the actual exam, I began to wonder whether I had studied the right material at all. While taking the test, for quite a while I wondered whether I was being given the wrong test!

Thorough, comprehensive, and clear
20 Feb 2008
Format:Paperback
In a world of lean, agile, etc., large projects and complex organizations still require rigor that is difficult to accomplish with lightweight methods. Although RUP was never intended to be a heavyweight method, misinformed and undereducated RUP users have often misused and abused RUP, counteracting its primary objectives.
Jochen's diverse background and experience offers grounding for presentation of RUP in a pragmatic manner that offers a lot of information in an efficient format. Anyone who is involved in non-trivial projects will be well-served to understand the key elements of RUP to ensure that those projects sufficiently handle critical tasks to reduce project risk. Instead of drowning in information overload, Jochen's book provides a thorough, comprehensive, and clear explanation of the elements of RUP that are most useful and relevant for project work.
