Use Case Driven Object Modeling with UML : A Practical Approach (Addison-Wesley Object Technology Series) ...

More practical...but still a tad too much for my tastes
I liked a lot of the book but still felt much of it was too much BUFD, at least for what I do. As with any UML book or article I find myself lost between the similarities and subtle differences between many of the diagrams. I figure that if I am lost then surely the business experts and stakeholders I am working with will be too. The best thing I take away from this book is the real need to ...

MDA Distilled (Addison-Wesley Object Technology Series)

Stephen J. Mellor, Kendall Scott, ...

Addison-Wesley Professional, 2004

An excellent introduction to MDA
Model-driven architecture (MDA) is a potential next level of abstraction in the production of software. The principle is that the solution to the problem is expressed using a modeling language, which is then translated by a model compiler into source code. That source code is then converted into executable code. The potential for increased efficiency is obviously enormous. The ability to express ...

UML Distilled: A Brief Guide to the Standard Object Modeling Language (2nd Edition)

Martin Fowler, Kendall Scott

Addison-Wesley Professional, 1999

Excellent introduction to UML and the software design process.
If you would like to get a better grasp on doing some high-level software design, UML Distilled turns out to be a much better book than I had anticipated. I expected a dry tutorial of the UML notation, but it is thankfully much more than this. UML Distilled (3rd Ed.) does indeed cover the UML 2.0 notation, but while you are learning one of the most flexible and widely accepted ways to represent ...

UML Distilled: Applying the Standard Object Modelling Language

Addison-Wesley, 1997

If you know OO programming it is a good overview of UML
Short and to the point. A good working guide if you know OO programming. Examples are clear but not too detailed. If you are into the high ceremony, fill out every form, type of design documentation this book won't be detailed enough for you. If you are a working programmer who wants good ways to think about and communicate your software designs - this is the book for you. In our company we ...

Laying the groundwork for a ClearQuest implementation...
Most IT professionals know the value of a good software defect tracking system. And if you're already using the Rational family of software offerings, one of your logical choices would be IBM Rational ClearQuest. If you're at the starting stages of selling the idea of ClearQuest and planning an implementation, then this is a really good read for you... Implementing IBM Rational ClearQuest: An ...

Learn object modeling by example with solution
All of the different jobs found in software development are learned in two ways. Either through trial and error on the job or by working through examples. The first is the most effective, but by far the most expensive. While the second is less thorough, it is cheaper and reduces the cost when you make the inevitable move to the first. Since object modeling is always open to many differing ...

The Unified Process Explained

2 reviews
Kendall Scott

Addison-Wesley Professional, 2001

Should be widely read by software developers
This book solves a very basic problem with the Rational Unified Process: its apparent mystery and complexity. You see, Rational's own documentation tends to be overly academic and self-referential, meaning it uses its own lingo heavily to explain the lingo. This serves well as a reference to a practitioner, but no good as an introduction. And you can't get your whole team, much less your ...

Fast Track UML 2.0

A response from the author
M. J. Graham correctly points out that the definition of postcondition is incorrect. This has been addressed. She also correctly notes that something is wrong with Figure 1-17; there was a problem in showing the box around PostingRule as a dashed outline, and I'm not sure why this was not corrected. However, I fail to see how these add up to 'so many glaring errors,' and I suggest that Ms. Graham ...

learn ArcView
You get a quick introduction to using GIS with geographic data. Perhaps the best thing about the book is the exposure you get to ArcView, which is one of the major GIS products out there in the marketplace. The book assumes no prior exposure to GIS. But if you are majoring in any of the earth sciences (geography foremost amongst these), then using GIS has now become a de facto mandatory ...
