Loading... UML Distilled: A Brief Guide to the Standard Object Modeling Languageby Martin Fowler
![]() None No current Talk conversations about this book. By the standard of "if you learn one thing from a book, it's worth the price", I was happy with this book. The most valuable thing I learned from the book was how to read and build sequence charts. Some of the design process parts at the beginning are too vague to take action on. Wouldn't want to study UML spec sheets (no common person should want to), so this book was enough to get up and running. ( ![]() Concise explanation of Unified Modelling Language, but limited to that. Easy to follow and concise. Would need to look at other books for more detail of concepts UML is representing. Short and concise is good. A quick read, but I'm not sure how much will sink in. Fowler focuses on the his favorite parts of the UML and dispenses practical advice on when and how it may be useful. Reading a large volume book on the UML would probably be tortuous. A good book to explain the UML from different diagrams view no reviews | add a review
