Pressured with tight deadlines, application developers do not have the luxury of keeping completely up-to-date with all of the latest innovations in software engineering. Once in a great while, a tremendous resource comes along that helps these professionals become more efficient. The first two editions of UML Distilled have been perennial best-sellers because of their concise, yet thorough, nature. This eagerly-anticipated third edition allows you to get acquainted with some of the best thinking about efficient object-oriented software design using the latest version of the industry-standard for modeling software: UML 2.0. The author has retained the book's convenient format that has made it an essential resource for anyone who designs software for a living. The book describes all the major UML 2.0 diagram types, what they are intended to do, and the basic notation involved in creating and deciphering them. A true treasure for the software engineering community.… (more)

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. (
