An excellent UML intro
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
This is a very well-written intro to UML. The book is concise, without any fluff, and immediately useful. If you want to learn UML and don't want to yawn through the 400+ page spec or lug around some oveweight, over-appendixed book, I strongly suggest checking this one out. The diagrams are simple and clear. The examples make sense. While I didn't really take any of the short quizzes after each section, in retrospect I think they can be helpful for some. As far as "bad", there really isn't any.For experienced developers new to UML, this book also goes nicely with "Agile Modeling".
Awesome for beginners, excellent for future quick reference
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I tried learning UML by using the more popular books, but had difficuly absorbing the information mainly due to time constraints. That's why I absolutely love this book - very short, great chapter layouts and plenty of examples. In fact, the examples serve excellently as a quick reference when I need to figure out how to model something. The disclaimer is that my job does not require super-professional and perfect design documents, and if you're in a similar situation I would strongly recommend this book.
This book delivers what it promises

This books does not overcomplicate things. I thought that UML was a difficult subject until I read this book. It presents core concepts clearly and painlessly. I've read 3 other books on UML and OO Concepts. I have found some books that are great if you have got all the time in the world to read them, but they have not gotten me to the point of being able to put UML to practical use. UML A Beginner's Guide accomplished that really quickly. It's a great core reference as well as an excellent place to start.
Very informative and professionally written.

I found this book to be quite assistive for a beginner as myself. The details and examples have given me step-by-step information that will help me in my profession as programmer.
Easy to Understand UML

This book is an excellent source for people to learn UML from. It does not assume that you know anything about UML already, although I'm sure that if you did (and I didn't), this book would help you learn more.Excellent diagrams help enforce the concepts that were presented. Each chapter has a list of questions and the answers are in the back of the book! Very helpful and well written.
