Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The major strength of UML Distilled is its short, concise presentation of the essentials of UML and where it fits within today's software development process. The book describes all the major UML diagram types, what they're for and the basic notation involved creating and deciphering them. These diagrams include use cases, class and interaction diagrams, followed by collaborations, state, activity and physical diagrams. The examples are always clear and the explanations cut to the fundamental design logic.
For the second edition, the material has been reworked for use cases and activity diagrams, plus there are numerous small tweaks throughout, including the latest UML v. 1.3 standard. An appendix even traces the evolution of UML versions.
Working developers often don't have time to keep up with new innovations in software engineering. This new edition lets you get acquainted with some of the best thinking about efficient object-oriented software design using UML in a convenient format that will be essential to anyone who designs software professionally. --Richard Dragan, amazon.com
Topics covered: UML basics, analysis and design, outline development (software development process), inception, elaboration, managing risks, construction, transition, use case diagrams, class diagrams, interaction diagrams, collaborations, state diagrams, activity diagrams, physical diagrams, patterns, refactoring basics. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

The author has retained the book's convenient format that has made it an essential resource for anyone who designs software for a living.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent Introduction and Overview.,
By
This review is from: UML Distilled: A Brief Guide to the Standard Object Modeling Language (Object Technology Series) (Paperback)
Despite some of the recent comments I found this book to be an excellent introduction to UML. Although I have quite some experience in using UML in commercial environments, this is a book I will carry with me to explain simply and clearly to others what it is about. Don't expect to find process or technique, that is not the idea of this little guide, but if you are used to some forms of moddelling, you may expect an easy route to introductory UML.

Wonderful introduction to UML,
By John E. Davidson (Purley) - See all my reviews
This review is from: UML Distilled: A Brief Guide to the Standard Object Modeling Language (Addison-Wesley Object Technology Series) (Paperback)
The best introduction to UML there is. It is short, succinct and well written (as all of Martin Fowler's books are) but also comprehensive and comprehensible.This is a good book for anybody looking to learn about UML: managers, developers, analysts, and architects. Clearly anybody who is going to use UML in anger will need to consult more detailed material but this is an excellent starting point for all. Highly recommended

5.0 out of 5 stars
Practical, comprehensive, and easy to read,
This review is from: UML Distilled: A Brief Guide to the Standard Object Modeling Language (Addison-Wesley Object Technology Series) (Paperback)
This was the first readable book I found on UML and it is still my favourite. It has a practical focus, and concentrates on how to make effective use of UML rather than the abstruse features and OO theory. There is easily enough detail to allow someone new to UML to effictively read, modify and create UML diagrams as well as some helpful hints and reminders on style for the more experienced. If you want more then see this book as a well annotated bibliography with an introduction to each topic and where you can find the detail when you need it.
