An USEFUL reference card, more than a teaching book !

As professional with 14 yeras experiences, I recommend this book for everyone who have allready study the base of UML, and are looking for a guideline and a quick reference card.As Project manager, I have read and study more than 30 books about UML.For the first two projects, this book was for me very useful, because I serve it like a quick reference card for all the design tool, and as a guide line for the sequence of...

If you read 1 book on UML make it this one

When considering which UML book to buy it should be obvious that some complement each other depending on the skill level (novice, experienced) and background of the reader (student, software/embedded engineer, manager). However, having read more than 10 books on UML, I suggest that if you must only buy one book make it this one. There is no other book that real-time extensions, process for UML, design patterns, discussion...

excellent, readable, concise, gives good grasp of UML

Having read both Instant UML, and UML toolkit, found toolkit to add the most value in teaching fundamentals of UML design. The description of the processes, components and application to real business cases did not tax my brain too much. Instant UML much more suited as a reference book. Learning the art of designing object oriented business applications requires a robust methodology to relate business events to the...

Excellent book for documenting your software in OO manner

I have been programming in C++ for while. However, whenever I implemented any of my ideas of my research as a C++ program (some are big and some are small) and tried to put down my implementation idea in a systematic manner that follows Object Oriented paradigm, I was finding it enormously difficult! But this book gave me thorough concept of different types of diagrams as described in UML. Now I think UML is the best...

Best of the lot on UML so far. Practical and easy to read.

I wanted a book that summarized UML quickly and also functioned as a cookbook for all the diagramming techniques. This book filled the bill very nicely. I looked at several others and they were lacking on examples or implementation details. Some of these other books were smaller, and some larger. But, this book hit the sweetspot in coverage and readability. I gave this book a "10" rating because it is the best of the...
