Title: UML Bible by Tom Pender ISBN: 0-7645-2604-9 Publisher: John Wiley & Sons Pub. Date: 02 June, 2003 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $49.99 |
Average Customer Rating: 5 (2 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: Most comprehensive book on UML 1.4 and 2.0
Comment: This book is highly recommended because not only is it clearly written, but it is also a comprehensive treatment of the full UML standard, including OCL, XMI and Action Semantics. In addition, an early chapter is devoted to explaining object-oriented concepts, so the UML is put into the right context and not just treated as a notation.
Because of the thorough comparisons made between UML 1.4 and UML 2.0, the UML Bible will ease the transition for many modelers to the latest, substantially revised version of the standard.
The chapter on OCL is very readable and makes this difficult topic a little easier for most people to appreciate.
The chapter on XMI is really just an introduction to the topic, but this chapter does include a very nice introduction to Diagram Interchange, a cool addition to UML 2.0.
Other highlights of UML Bible:
* Appendices include very usable notation guides, one for UML 1.4 and another for UML 2.0.
* A concise glossary that includes diagrams is included at the back.
* One major example dominates the book, a Ticketing System.
* A companion web site provides useful links and downloads.

Summary: Great book for getting up to speed on UML 2.0
Comment: ....there is a substantial difference between UML 1.4 and UML 2.0 and the UML Bible is an excellent book to help software modelers discover what's new and different in the revised standard. I especially like the way Pender uses gray shading in the diagrams to help you quickly identify differences between the two versions of UML. This thoroughness is carried over into the listings in the Glossary, Index and Appendices, which feature separate UML 1.4 and UML 2.0 Notation Guides to help users understand unique aspects of both notations.
The section on bringing rigor to the modeling process with object constraint language (OCL) and Action Semantics is handled equally well, with a convincing explanation of the role of action semantics in providing a standard for the exchange of action specifications between UML tools, as well as future "executable UML" applications.
Whether you use the UML for informal 'sketching' of software ideas or a more exhaustive 'blueprint' approach to code, Pender's clear and accessible 940-page book provides a comprehensive and cost-effective way to get up to speed on all aspects of UML 2.0.
