Editorial Review:
"Since its original introduction in 1997, the Unified Modeling Language has revolutionized software development. Every integrated software development environment in the world--open-source, standards-based, and proprietary--now supports UML and, more importantly, the model-driven approach to software development. This makes learning the newest UML standard, UML 2.0, critical for all software developers--and there isn't a better choice than this clear, step-by-step guide to learning the language."
--Richard Mark Soley, Chairman and CEO, OMG
If you're like most software developers, you're building systems that are increasingly complex. Whether you're creating a desktop application or an enterprise system, complexity is the big hairy monster you must manage.
The Unified Modeling Language (UML) helps you manage this complexity. Whether you're looking to use UML as a blueprint language, a sketch tool, or as a programming language, this book will give you the need-to-know information on how to apply UML to your project. While there are plenty of books available that describe UML, Learning UML 2.0 will show you how to use it. Topics covered include:
- Capturing your system's requirements in your model to help you ensure that your designs meet your users' needs
- Modeling the parts of your system and their relationships
- Modeling how the parts of your system work together to meet your system's requirements
- Modeling how your system moves into the real world, capturing how your system will be deployed
Engaging and accessible, this book shows you how to use UML to craft and communicate your project's design. Russ Miles and Kim Hamilton have written a pragmatic introduction to UML based on hard-earned practice, not theory. Regardless of the software process or methodology you use, this book is the one source you need to get up and running with UML 2.0. Additional information including exercises can be found at www.learninguml2.com.
Russ Miles is a software engineer for General Dynamics UK, where he works with Java and Distributed Systems, although his passion at the moment is Aspect Orientation and, in particular, AspectJ. Kim Hamilton is a senior software engineer at Northrop Grumman, where she's designed and implemented a variety of systems including web applications and distributed systems, with frequent detours into algorithms development.
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating: - A great book, not just for Java programmers!
I'm a junior Java programmer and the main reason why I came into contact with UML is because some of the major Java IDE's like Sun Java Studio and NetBeans have fully adopted support for UML modeling. Even though the tutorials on the Sun and NetBeans website give you a very good heads up and despite the fact that there are many UML tutorials available on the web I wanted more. Both a learning guide as well as some good reference.
And thats what I found in Learning UML from O'Reilly. ... Read More
Rating:  - Best UML book for beginner
I've read a couple of other books that talk about UML, but they seem to just skim the surface and try to talk simple to you. This book is truly for someone who wants to learn about UML and how to use it properly.
I recommend reading through the whole book once quickly and then go back and read it again carefully. I believe that's the best way to learn the details presented in this book.
Rating: - A good book for learning UML
I found this book to be largely readable and comprehensible. The writing style is fluid and the book is laid out well. One notable omission is a quick reference chart -- but the chapters are well laid out enough and short enough that I don't think it will be much of an issue in practice. I recommend this one.
Rating: - Concise, More Diagrams
I liked this book better than "UML 2 for Dummies". I thought "Learning UML 2.0" was more concise and had more illustrations per page of the UML diagrams being introduced.
Rating: - Pragmatic UML
I found the presentation pragmatic, readable, and practical.
It is easy to pick a UML Diagram type you want to use and start reading, drawing.
UML is a straight forward notation and these authors presents it as such. (Perhaps because it is straight forward many other authors seem to make their UML exposition much more complex than it needs to be).
