A good set of core skills for object oriented system analyst
The authors did a great job illustrating the entire system development life cycle with a coherent and realistic example using the latest UML notations, practical methodologies, and various analytical artifacts. The UML writing style of this book is very easy to follow, and a great way to gradually introduce the whole concept of object-oriented analysis and design methodologies to the readers, especially the beginners. The only criticism I have is that sometimes the description of a particular topic spans over multiple pages without sub-leveling or sub-topics or highlights, making it very difficult for user to go back and perhaps mine certain important concepts embedded in the discussion. Perhaps more generalization relationship and diagrams can be helpful. Overall, it is a very good source of reference for object-oriented design in layman's term. I will strongly recommend it to my colleagues.

Outstanding Reference on UML 2.0 & System Design


It is concise, and provides a clear picture of the entire systems design process

It shows how UML 2. I have looked at over twenty books on UML and its updates over the past few years, and this book is a gem.0 can be used to support system requirements capture, specification, analysis, and design.

It clearly says what is important and what is not, and what is not covered in the book.

Very pleasing to look at visually, with nice pictures and colors, and very good use of footnotes.

I would recommend this highly to all university faculty considering creating or teaching a course in system design using UML. Excellent job by the authors in exceeding the goals and expectations set by this book.

The above views are my personal views, and don't reflect those of any other institution.

I am using parts of it at a graduate course I teach at Georgia Tech. .
