Good Foundational Advice 2007-09-21
Like the book "The Elements of Style" that I was given to use in High School to improve my writing, this book seeks to do the same for your UML diagrams. The author states that the purpose of this book is to "describe a collection of standards, conventions, and guidelines for creating effective UML diagrams". This book succeeds in its goal. I really like the fact that at the beginning of each chapter, each chapter covers one diagram type, a short description of what the diagram is used for is presented. As a designer, I see these rules not being followed or ignored much of the time. Rule 15 (Prefer Well-Known Notation over Esoteric Notation) is what I see as one of the most violated rules. Most people seem to diagram what they think is appropriate and ignore the UML rules. Hmmm, sounds like most people that write as well.
Elements of UML 2.0 Style Is Great! 2007-05-21
Anyone who wants to improve the way they model systems will want to read this short and concise guide to the correct use of UML.
Good Desktop Reference 2007-02-08
This book is written in a clear, concise style and offers sensible guidelines for the contruction and layout of the major UML diagrams. For a bit more in-depth explanation of the application of the diagrams, read Fowler's "UML Distilled". I think the two work very well together as companion references.
great modeling 'little book' 2007-01-05
I must confess, I love little books. In the inimitable style of the White and Strunk book, this one provides well-grounded and practical prescriptions for language usage. It is not complete as a learning tool, but it provides an excellent adjunct to the Booch et al 'User Guide' or Fowler's 'Distilled'. When I first opened the book I thought some of the style guidelines appeared trivial. But digesting it as required reading in a UML intro class not only gave me the confidence to complete my assignments; I found additional insight into UML as-tool. I suspect I will be vetting every UML diagram I create through this book's precepts for a long time.
