Editorial Review:
System developers have used modeling languages for decades to specify, visualize, construct, and document systems. The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is one of those languages. UML makes it possible for team members to collaborate by providing a common language that applies to a multitude of different systems. Essentially, it enables you to communicate solutions in a consistent, tool-supported language. Today, UML has become the standard method for modeling software systems, which means you're probably confronting this rich and expressive language more than ever before. And even though you may not write UML diagrams yourself, you'll still need to interpret diagrams written by others. UML 2.0 in a Nutshell from O'Reilly feels your pain. It's been crafted for professionals like you who must read, create, and understand system artifacts expressed using UML. Furthermore, it's been fully revised to cover version 2.0 of the language. This comprehensive new edition not only provides a quick-reference to all UML 2.0 diagram types, it also explains key concepts in a way that appeals to readers already familiar with UML or object-oriented programming concepts. Topics include: - The role and value of UML in projects
- The object-oriented paradigm and its relation to the UML
- An integrated approach to UML diagrams
- Class and Object, Use Case, Sequence, Collaboration, Statechart, Activity, Component, and Deployment Diagrams
- Extension Mechanisms
- The Object Constraint Language (OCL)
If you're new to UML, a tutorial with realistic examples has even been included to help you quickly familiarize yourself with the system.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - It helps understand the basics
It provide enough "life" examples to permit you to understand the basic. It is a great complement to maybe a college book that provides limited examples.
Rating:  - Great reference - but it is a reference
I am a software developer with 15 yrs experience, been a Java developer for the last 7. Never worked in a heavy UML environment but have been required to put together class diagrams and wanted to learn more about other UML features. This book is not a cookbook, a how-to, or a learning guide, so if you need to learn and use UML in a heavy-duty way this book is not the right one. However, this book is great as an overview and reference, and it allows me to speak intelligently about UML and understand ... Read More
Rating:  - Only a reference guide
This book is just a reference guide for UML 2.0. Well categorized, small examples for each UML concept but nothing else. If you want to learn UML from scratch this is not the first book you want or even need to read. If you are a proficient UML designer you won't need it. If you are in the middle path this book can help you a little, when you forgot something specific for example. Although you can easily find the same information googling elsewhere.
I'm not telling you this is a waste of money. ... Read More
Rating: - One of the Best UML Reference Books On the Market Today & Very Portable
When searching for a very good UML reference book last year, I happened upon the book entitled "UML 2.0 in a Nutshell" by Dan Pilone with Neil Pitman. The book, which measures a mere 8.9 by 6 by 0.8 inches, is both lightweight and highly portable; which is one of the reasons that I decided to purchase a copy. However, it was ultimately the content of the book, and not its compact size, that convinced to me that this would a very useful resource. Condensed within 216 pages, "UML 2.0 in a Nutshell" lives up ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent reference book
I bought this book recently to learn about the differences and new stuff included in this version of UML. I sincerely think this book was an excellent choice. The author describes each UML diagram in a focused way and in very simple words. I'm actually reading it and i am very pleased with this book. It fits all my expectations about a quick reference guide into the world of UML 2.0. Note this isn't a learning book about this language it's only like its title said UML 2.0 in a nutshell.
