Perhaps the best choise for starting with the UML

Surely this book is not the absolute reference for the UML. Someone seeking for such a book, should check up on: "The Unified Modeling Language User Guide", "The Unified Modeling Language Reference Manual" both by the 3 amigos, and "UML Distilled, Second Ed." by Martin Fowler et al.I gave 5 stars because, to my opinion, the author has catched the main need of someone who uses the UML for the first time; to design/develop software. Formalizations and abstractions are absolutely necessary in real applications, but really destructing during the first steps simply because anything usefull is interspersed in several chapters. On the other hand, the coverage of both the UML and the OO S/W development in this book is definitely not shallow."Developing Software with UML" is perhaps the best choise for beginning with UML. It is well-structured, intuitive and easy.

Extremely well thought out and very readable

Of the several books I've read on UML and more importantly object-orientation I've found this one to be concise and well thought out. Discussions on what objects do and don't do are well described. Some of these discussions I've picked up just in my own experience and it was nice to see it formally described in the text.

For me, an excellent book about UML...

The book explains in a nice form the "Object-Orientation for Beginners", but I don't know if OO beginners understand everything directly. The chapter about the Project Management needs to be reworked because there is a possibility to fall into a slumber... The rest part II (Example: Analysis; Design) and part III (Fundamentals of the UML), for which I decided to buy the book, is excellent. A book, nice to have! Thanks for the book!
