Good UML Introduction

This is a good introduction to the greatness of UML. I gets you up to speed quickly on what UML is, the various types of diagrams, and how to use UML in the real world.

Author's Response to Larry4882

Thanks for taking the time to review my book. I've been working with UML professionally for more than 3 years, and my goal was to help beginners learn UML as quickly and painlessly as possible.

I read this book in just over six hours--the chapters really only take about 15 minutes to read--and found it to be exactly what I was looking for...

UML you can understand

Our company is interested in UML, and several people had bought two books by the guys known as The Three Amigos - Booch, Jaconsen, and Rumbaugh (the User Guide and the Software Development Process). I started reading and quickly found that these books moved too far, too fast - the same experience that the others had.I took a look at the UML books in my local computer bookstore and decided to take a chance with this one...
