Summary: The RUP would be RIP without this book series
Comment: The guy from Toronto got it right. This is a great book that collects really good articles written by some of my favorite writers. I first read the Construction Phase book then quickly bought this book and the Inception phase book and have found all three to be valuable. My company is trying to implement the RUP right now and struggled because there was clearly some missing techniques. This book series presents a lot of what is missing in the RUP, and it really helped us to fill in a lot of the missing stuff. Too bad Ambler and Constantine don't work for Rational.

Summary: The RUP would be RIP without this book
Comment: This is a really great book. It goes into detail about an improved version of the lifecycle for the Unified Process, one that actually addresses the real world needs of most companies. Trying to use the RUP on multiple projects? Trying to have a common architecture between them? Worried about integrating with your legacy systems? This book covers these topics and more with some of the best articles ever published in Software Development magazine. I'm really into some of the philosophies of XP and as a result really liked the chapter on testing which presents a wide range of testing techniques and strategies. The A&D chapter included a really great article about distributed object design by Scott Ambler and one about Java interface design by Peter Coad, two topics critical for EJB development IMHO. The business modeling chapter was excellent, covering essential modeling, business rules, and a great UML article by Martin Fowler. It's amazing how this book collects some of the best material written by the best minds in the computer industry.
Personally, I can't imagine anyone adopting the RUP without first reading this book series. I think it's great that someone has gone to the effort to sort through the best articles written by some of the best minds in this industry. Kudos to Ambler and Constantine for having the courage to stand up and say what many others have been afraid to.

Summary: Disappointed in Colorado
Comment: Be forewarned. This book expresses very little original thought and is merely a collection of "other peoples" articles. This provides for very little logical flow for someone wanting to apply RUP. Where are the examples, tips of the trade, and how-to's?
Shame on me for not having gone to the book store first to look at the book as the online description gives no indication that it was in a periodical format.
I expected more from Scott after having read is other great "original thought" books.
