Ties it all together

If you want to learn about the details of UML, this isn't the book. Same goes for learning Visual Basic. Both those topics are better served by the multitude of specific references available. This book takes the two concepts and shows HOW TO GET IT DONE!I agree with the authors that very little which has been written focuses clearly on real world, practical solutions. Most of the authors have been either methodologists or consultants. My experience is that few of these authors have a true management perspective of someone who has to live long-term with the organizational dynamics of object development, and long-term with the technical results.The strongest aspect of this book is standard project management practices and process definition. The explanation of how to do use case analysis is particularly well done. VB is not considered a mainstream OO language or development environment. While VB does have object characteristics which the authors use to illustrate their points and has wide market appeal, most people would not use it to do a real object project. I think the point here is that VB is evolving and I will wait and see how OO it becomes.

This book is outstanding!

The Object-Oriented world has been waiting for a book that describes the process (method) for developing OO systems with UML in detail.This book is filled with many key suggestions in OO development with UML that can only come from years of experience in developing OO systems. Every Object-Oriented developer, including analysts and managers, should have this book for reference!I am awed at the great details the authors present in explaining how to organize and accomplish an OO project.I will be recommending this book to all my friends who are OO developers. The demonstration of the Approach with a case study is outstanding! This helps make the book even more superb and valuable!
