Product Description
John Salt, Lecturer in Software Engineering, Brunel University, UK
"Someone seems to have telepathically divined just the sort of book I've been looking for."
--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
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

Format:Paperback
The best book I've ever read on UML and I've seen a few ones: clear, understandable, distinguishing the most and least important concepts, as short as possible. The authors have been there, they look thoroughly the semantics of each concept introduced. I used "Using UML" to prepare very good slides on UML. It has been recommended to me by a Dutch university teacher and I realised that the book was used in lots of universities in the world. I can't thank him enough. A must read. I hope the authors will update it quickly on UML 2.0 ...

The first part of the book is geared up towards the student talking about bread-and-butter things like component design, OO concepts etc, this is ok but you won't read it twice.
As a reference, the rest of the book covers the UML basics but not to any great depth, it can still leave you asking questions. Something like the UML User Guide is a better bet.
Overall, its a good book to have as a reference, but I'm still looking for a better one. (This review is based on the 1.3 edition).

As an IT student on a MSc course that is now quite focussed on OOP and teaches UML, I found this clear and comprehensive. One criticism is the Open University-style in-text questions which irritate as they disrupt the reading. Also it is annoying that the Java impementations of the examples are not available to students. Finally, the book should have been sub-edited and produced more professionally. The amateur dtp shows through.

Ok
Good book at providing explanations on different specified topics but it does drag on and can become very boring and long winded.

Suffocatingly dull presentation.
I was wary of the 'average' reviews for this book, but it was recommended for a course module so...mistake! Read more

I had to endure this book as part of my OU study.
This is probably one of the worst written computing books I have ever read. It is disjointed, poorly structured and unwieldy. Read more

Concise and well-presented
I would have given four stars were it not for the apology at the start of the book for the American spelling. Read more
