Book review: Wanderlust or Art of the Palate
Fast Track UML 2.0
Author: Kendall Scott
"I was looking for something that would quickly bring me up to date with UML 2.0, while still serving as a good reference manual into the future... This is that book."
— Dirk Schreckmann, JavaRanch Sheriff (Read the 8 horseshoe review )
The Superstructure portion of the UML 2.0 specification is 632 pages long! This book is a distillation of the contents of the UML Superstructure document and captures the essential information for you. The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a set of tools and techniques for capturing the analysis and design of the software development process.
Through the use of standard diagrams for such concepts as use cases, interactions, and collaborations, among many others, Fast Track UML 2.0 explores the modeling techniques and the changes since the UML 1.3 standard. Kendall Scott presents a new look at the contents of the UML Superstructure document without overloading you with details.
