Good basic and quick book for UML

If you have a general idea of SDLC, this is a perfect book for you. It doesn't bring you into detail but good enough to give you a general idea of all the static and dynamic diagrams. This is also a great book for students who do not want to dig too deep into a concept and not knowing how to apply them.EQ.

Indepth, but hard to follow

I found this book very hard to read at times, and tedious at other times. If you can stick with it long enough, it starts to make sense, and there as a ton of very good information to be found. It is well written and logically organised, I just wish it were a bit more enjoyable to read.

Informative, question and answer style.

The book is written in an Question/Answer format (i.e., FAQ). Very different from the rest of the UML topics, narrative or reference styles provided in most UML books. Unfortunately, the price seems a little steep, until you consider that there are some valuable bits of information in this book that seem to be missing from most UML books. Mostly the "why?" of UML. That makes the book worth every penny. If you are deep into UML and want answers to some of the more obscure issues, this is a good book to read through.
