"This edition contains Larman's usual accurate and thoughtful writing. It is a very good book made even better." --Alistair Cockburn, author, Writing Effective Use Cases and Surviving OO Projects"Too few people have a knack for explaining things. Fewer still have a handle on software analysis and design. Craig Larman has both." --John Vlissides, author, Design Patterns and Pattern Hatching"People often ask me which is the best book to introduce them to the world of OO design. Ever since I came across it Applying UML and Patterns has been my unreserved choice." --Martin Fowler, author, UML Distilled and Refactoring"This book makes learning UML enjoyable and pragmatic by incrementally introducing it as an intuitive language for specifying the artifacts of object analysis and design. It is a well written introduction to UML and object methods by an expert practitioner." --Cris Kobryn, Chair of the UML Revision Task Force and UML 2.0 Working Group*A brand new edition of the world's most admired introduction to object-oriented analysis and design with UML *Fully updated for UML 2 and the latest iterative/agile practices *Includes an all-new case study illustrating many of the book's key points Applying UML and Patterns is the world's #1 business and college introduction to "thinking in objects"--and using that insight in real-world object-oriented analysis and design. Building on two widely acclaimed previous editions, Craig Larman has updated this book to fully reflect the new UML 2 standard, to help you master the art of object design, and to promote high-impact, iterative, and skillful agile modeling practices. Developers and students will learn object-oriented analysis and design (OOA/D) through three iterations of two cohesive, start-to-finish case studies. These case studies incrementally introduce key skills, essential OO principles and patterns, UML notation, and best practices. You won't just learn UML diagrams--you'll learn how to apply UML in the context of OO software development.Drawing on his unsurpassed experience as a mentor and consultant, Larman helps you understand evolutionary requirements and use cases, domain object modeling, responsibility-driven design, essential OO design, layered architectures, "Gang of Four" design patterns, GRASP, iterative methods, an agile approach to the Unified Process (UP), and much more. This edition's extensive improvements include *A stronger focus on helping you master OOA/D through case studies that demonstrate key OO principles and patterns, while also applying the UML *New coverage of UML 2, Agile Modeling, Test-Driven Development, and refactoring *Many new tips on combining iterative and evolutionary development with OOA/D *Updates for easier study, including new learning aids and graphics *New college educator teaching resources *Guidance on applying the UP in a light, agile spirit, complementary with other iterative methods such as XP and Scrum *Techniques for applying the UML to documenting architectures *A new chapter on evolutionary requirements, and much more Applying UML and Patterns, Third Edition, is a lucid and practical introduction to thinking and designing with objects--and creating systems that are well crafted, robust, and maintainable.
An introduction of philosophy for programmers/managers
| Customer Rating: | One sentence summary:
Highly recommended for project managers and programmers who does more than coding.
In general:
This is a great book for introducing Object Oriented Analysis and Desisgn (OOA/D). This book is especially useful if a reader has been involved in some real-world programming projects using the Waterfall method, or have asked questions like "Why my customer always change the requirement".
About the writing:
The language is clear to understand even for non-native English speakers. I especially like the the slide-like way of presenting the current chapter's purpose with a view of the big picture of OOA/D. |
Perfect resource for OOAA
| Customer Rating: | I needed the book because I did not pass the examen OOAA (Object Oriented Analysis Advanced). The cause: the study material did not cover all the subjects. Therefore I bought this book to increase my ability to apply the UML patterns and to pass the exam.
I have read half of the book.
It is clearly written, without any errors for far.
That is why I consider this book as a valuable resource and give it five stars.
Although English is not my native language, I am able to read and understand the subjects.

Good book to choose
| Customer Rating:  | | This was my first book on development process theme. Well it's quite interesting to read and full of useful information. It highlights some interesting methods of software design work. This book has one shortcoming: the actual useful information is hidden by huge amount of text which sometimes repeats itself. I had to make some efforts to begin to understand the ideas and principles. And after reading it twice you will have clear view of agile development in you head. Anyway it is worth to be read. |
A "must read" for a programmer
| Customer Rating: | It's a "must read" for a programmer. This book has opened my eyes for lots of things connected with programming I didn't realize before.
After reading this book I recommend you reading followings:
- "Agile Software Development, Principles, Patterns, and Practices" ew. "Agile Principles, Patterns, and Practices in C#";
- "Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture".
I have to say that English is not my first language, but I found this book "readable" with no problems. |
Excellent Hands-On Instruction & Great Graphics
| Customer Rating: | | This book was purchased for the Business Analyst in our IT Department. She is very pleased with the graphics which make the instructions much easier to understand. There are many practical applications in the book that have already been extremely helpful in her job. |
