Reviews


Pretty good
This book is pretty good it really help to understand uml. Im new in UML but this bood help to understand the diferent diagram and when is correct to use it.

Needs more figures
This is a fine book and I am sure I will refer to it often but here are a few items I would like to see fixed in the 2nd edition:
* I had to flip to the next page too many times to see the figure of a diagram as I was reading the text that introduced it. Please put the figure before the text or make sure it is on the facing page.
* This book is mainly about diagrams but the figure-to-text ratio was too low.
* I thought some of the UML examples were a bit off.

Excellent Guide to UML
If you don't know a thing abut UML2 and would like to jump start the learning process this book is for you. Quick to access, easy to comprehend even when the material becomes rather complicated. I would recommend this book to anyone who would seriously like to learn more about UML2

Great translator for the rest
I took a UML class at university and was having difficulty understanding the textbooks. I bought this book to help me understand the concepts, which this book did admirably. When I showed up in class with this book, the instructor told everyone how great the book is, and he used the examples in class. Excellent book!

Introduction to the novice and guide to practioners
This book has an apprehensible way of introducing the main principles of UML and provides a step-by-step flow delivery. It helps the novice to gather a complete view of the areas involved while supplying a sufficient level of detail without overloading at the same time. Equally practioners will find it a handy guide for quick reference and tool application verification.

This book, as the whole series, is not targeted at the expert user, who demands in-depth analysis of all levels of UML. Thus, a degree of conceptual granularity a novice would feel overwhelmed with, which is successfully avoided by book. Thereby it is perfect in meeting its target of introductionary yet coherent provision of UML concepts.

Experts, however, will feel more at home with the UML-Bible.
