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.

Book 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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Suffocatingly dull presentation., 19 Feb 2003
I was wary of the 'average' reviews for this book, but it was recommended for a course module so...mistake! In the inept hands of these authors UML becomes 'Unremittingly Dull Language' - they plough into the field with no adequate ground-laying or overview, no concept of how the reader absorbs ideas, and definitely no humour! These are not people you'd want at your house party.
The language is wooly, unneccesarily confusing and inspires such boredom that you just don't care what they're saying - there must be a better book than this!?

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books of my library, 23 Jun 2004
By François Clément (Mons Belgium) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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 ...
