Nice book to integrate UML/Visio/dot net skills
But this book does a nice job tying them altogether - it won't teach you how to model, etc. There are better books to train developers in individual skills - UML, Visio, dot net. but does a very good job in applying and integrating all the skills. There are some annoying typos, but no showstoppers.
UML yes, but
The book is about UML but i question the professional bit in the title. I do not think that the title of this book is appropriate. The writing is okay but you can tell that different authors worked on the book. Had the book been a little more coherent I would have opted for 4 stars.
developer
From UML standpoint it covers only very basic scenarios. It is a total mystery to me why this book was written in the first place. From software perspective it does not cover topics like ". . how the hell do I specify . Net attributes and do not lose them in reverse engineering. . . " or ". . . why C# documentation is totally incompatible with what Visio produces. . . ". The only thing this book teaches is how to do basic operations, which you probably can figure out on your own after 2 days of pocking around. DO NOT waist you money (I would use 0 star option if it was available).
