Martin Fowler - UML Distilled: A Brief Guide to the Standard Object Modeling Language (3rd Edition)

" UML Distilled remains the best introduction to UML notation. Martin's agile and pragmatic approach hits the sweet spot, and I wholeheartedly recommend it!"
Craig Larman
Author of Applying UML and Patterns
"Fowler cuts through the complexity of UML to get users started quickly."
Jim Rumbaugh
Author and originator of UML
"Martin Fowler's UML Distilled is an excellent way to get started with UML. In fact for most users, UML Distilled contains all you need to apply UML successfully. As Martin points out, UML can be used in many ways, but the most common is as a widely recognized notation for sketching designs. This book does an excellent job of distilling the essence of UML. Highly recommended."
Steve Cook
Software Architect
Microsoft Corporation
"Short books on UML are better than long books on UML. This is still the best short book on UML. In fact, it's the best short book on many subjects."
Alistair Cockburn
Author and President, Humans and Technology
"The book is immensely useful, readable, andone of its great virtuesdelightfully concise for the immense scope of its subject. If you only buy one book on UML, this should be it."
Andy Carmichael
BetterSoftwareFaster, Ltd.
"If you're using UML, this book should never be out of reach."
John Crupi
Distinguished Engineer, Sun Microsystems
Coauthor of Core J2EE Patterns
"Anyone doing UML modeling, learning UML, reading UML, or building UML tools should have this latest edition. (I own all editions.) There is lots of good, useful information; generally, just enough to be useful, but not too much 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. Mellor
Coauthor of Executable UML
"This is the perfect book for those who want to use the UML but aren't interested 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. Readers will find no shortage of suggestions for further reading. He gives the reader advice based on experience. It's a concise and readable book covering the essential 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 iteration. This is the only book I consider when teaching a class 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."
