5.0 out of 5 stars Ottimo libro per imparare i diagrammi UML...
Reviewed in Italy on 29 March 2019

Ottimo libro per capire passo-passo come costruire i diagrammi UML. Il testo è del 2003, l'autore dice che nel testo utilizza la versione corrente (cioè al momento in cui scrive il libro) che è l'UML 1.4 (approvato dall'OMG a settembre 2001), ma assume anche che la versione 2.0 diventerà a breve la versione ufficiale dell'UML (che verrà poi approvata nell'Agosto 2005). Ad oggi, agosto 2019, la versione UML è comunque arrivata alla versione 2.5.1 e ci sono state diverse modifiche ( ad esempio adesso la molteplicità può essere indicata anche sugli Use Case e dei simboli grafici sono scomparsi). Purtroppo non troverete però la spiegazione di tutti i 14 tipi di diagrammi UML, ad oggi previsti; troverete invece i seguenti 9 diagrammi: use case, activity, sequence, class, collaboration, statechart, implementation, component, deployment. Quindi mancano i diagrammi: package, composite, object, profile, protocol state machine, state machine, interaction overview, timing. A parte questa mancanza, l'unica nota negativa è che avrei voluto alla fine di ogni capitolo un bel po di esercizi (in ogni capitolo e anche alla fine di ogni capitolo ci sono delle domande di check...le soluzioni si trovano poi alla fine del libro). Alla fine di ogni capitolo c'è un esercizio da svolgere...e viene data anche la soluzione cioè il diagramma risolutivo. Purtroppo diciamo che il testo non è sufficiente per risolvere con disinvoltura gli esercizi UML; bisogna procurarsi dalla rete esercizi e farne tanti. Inoltre per ognuno di questi esercizi del testo vengono dati su files da scaricare online i vari passi da seguire. Ho notato che anche se chiaro nella spiegazione a volte non chiarisce bene qualche punto ma ti lascia in sospeso...bastava qualche riga in più di spiegazione. Il libro è in inglese ma è facile da leggere. Si può tranquillamente prendere...per quanto ho visto purtroppo non esiste un'edizione del testo più aggiornata.......quindi in aggiunta sarebbe meglio se prendete un testo già aggiornato all'ultima versione di UML (altrimenti dovrete cercare il materiale in rete)

Since Im new to OOP and UML, I browsed through dozens of books on UML in an effort to understand how to design good oop objects. Only this book really got my interest reading, and I immediately purchased a copy from Amazon! Well, as of this writing, my copy has not yet arrived, but I'm actually continuously reading a copy of this book from a local bookstore while waiting for my own book. Really enjoyed reading most of the chapters and will re-read the book again to solidify my understanding! Highly recommended!

This book's title delivers on the promise. If you've never done UML or even heard of the Rational Unified Process (RUP), you're in good hands. The examples are very easy to follow, although there are no "tools" on the market that make it this easy, there's always a whiteboard that you can use.

Basically it delivers beginners the basics to begin more advance study topics if one so chooses.
