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

Updated for UML 1.4, this book is an introduction to the Unified Modeling Language for students learning about object- and component-based software design and development. The goal of the book is to encourage 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 good 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books of my library, 23 Jun 2004

Fran�ois Cl�ment (Mons Belgium) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Using UML: Software Engineering with Objects and Components (Object Technology Series) (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 ...

2.0 out of 5 stars Fairly good but lacking in some areas, 31 Oct 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Using UML : Software Engineering With Objects and Components (Paperback)

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).

4.0 out of 5 stars Clear introductory account for the student, 6 May 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Using UML: Software Engineering with Objects and Components (Object Technology Series) (Paperback)

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ok
Good book at providing explanations on different specified topics but it does drag on and can become very boring and long winded.
