"Anyone
doing UML modeling, learning UML, reading UML,
or building
UML tools should have this latest edition
. (1 own all editions
.) There is
lots of
good, useful information
; generally, just enough to be useful, but not too muck
to be dry . It's a must-have reference for my bookshelf!"
-Jon Kern
Modeler
"This is a great starting point for learning the fundamentals of the UML
."
-Scott W Ambler
Author of
Agile
Modeling
"An eminently sensible description of UML and its usage, with enough humor to
hold one's attention
. 'The swimming metaphor no longer holds water' indeed!"
-Stephen J

Coauthor of
Executable UML
"This is the perfect book for those who want to use the UML but aren't inter-
ested in reading thick UML reference books and
research papers
. Martin
Fowler selects all the critical techniques needed to use the
UML for design
sketches, freeing the reader from complex and rarely used UML features
. Read-
ers will find no shortage of suggestions for further reading . He gives the reader
advice based an experience
. It's a concise and readable book covering the essen-
tial aspects of the UML and related object-oriented concepts
."
-Pavel Hruby
Microsoft Business Solutions
"Like all good software developers, Fowler improves his product with each iter-
ation
. This is the only book 1 consider when teaching a dass involving UML or
if asked to recommend one that can be used to learn it
."
-Charles Ashbacher
President/CEO, Charles Ashbacher Technologies
"More books should be like
UML
Distilled-concise and readable . Martin
Fowler selects the parts of UML that you need, and presents them in an easy to
read style
. More valuable than a mere description of the modeling
language,
however, is the author's insight and experience in how to use this technique to
communicate and document design
."
