Product Description:
Gain the skills to effectively plan software applications and systems using the latest version of UML
UML 2 represents a significant update to the UML specification, from providing more robust mechanisms for modeling workflow and actions to making the modeling language more executable. Now in its second edition, this bestselling book provides you with all the tools you'll need for effective modeling with UML 2. The authors get you up to speed by presenting an overview of UML and its main features. You'll then learn how to apply UML to produce effective diagrams as you progress through more advanced topics such as use-case diagrams, classes and their relationships, dynamic diagrams, system architecture, and extending UML. The authors take you through the process of modeling with UML so that you can successfully deliver a software product or information management system.
With the help of numerous examples and an extensive case study, this book teaches you how to:
* Organize, describe, assess, test, and realize use cases
* Gain substantial information about a system by using classes
* Utilize activity diagrams, state machines, and interaction diagrams to handle common issues
* Extend UML features for specific environment or domains
* Use UML as part of a Model Driven Architecture initiative
* Apply an effective process for using UML
The CD-ROM contains all of the UML models and Java?TM code for a complete application, Java?TM 2 Platform, Standard Edition, Version 1.4.1, and links to the Web sites for vendors of UML 2 tools.

UML-2 offers an experience-based improvement over the original UML. However, the price for combining breadth of coverage with depth of detail is that UML-2 represents a great deal of material to cover. Fortunately, UML-2 Toolkit does a good job providing rationale and presenting the material in a straight forward, systematic fashion. It also makes it clear that by no means does every project require use of every type diagram. UML-2 is presented as a descriptive language rather than a design methodology. It is primarily for human to human communication although certain aspects can be automated.

I found this book a comprehensive guide to the last version of UML language.
The value of the book is in the clear and plain language used to introduce the UML features, as well as in the integration with topics like MDA (Model Driven Architecture), analysis, development methodologies.
The MDA chapter resembles too much the stuff published on the OMG website, and results too abstract in comparison with the rest of the book.
Be careful at the different reading levels allowed by this text: sometimes tiny annotations masks relevant topics!
I always have this book on my desk, and I use it as a reference often.

For anyone wanting to learn UML, I would recommend this book. This book is very easy to understand, yet very detailed in its approach and provides plenty of examples.

The author begins many paragraphs with an incomprehensible sentence, but does usually recover with great "for examples". Even after reading the book and feeling comfortable with the material, I went back to read some of those incomprehensible sentences and still found them incomprehensible.
This isn't an easy read.

Wow. I needed to really learn UML 2 for work, and found that this book covered everything! The examples are very clear, the writing thorough, smart, and explicit -- it's like a classroom in a book. A lot of humour -- this is an understandable read. The authors cover object-oriented methodologies, modeling, and all aspects of UML, including the neat new stuff in UML 2.0. I even used the cd-rom and found it to be cool and helpful (!!!). If you really want to learn UML 2.0 to be able to use, discuss, and apply it like a pro, this is the book for you.
