Guide to Applying the UML

Reading this book would probably require some effort. At the end of the reading process you will be able to write state-of-the-art UML diagrams to impress your customers. Also you will learn some idiomatic phrases like "a use-case-driven, architecture-centric, iterative and incremental, and risk-confronting effort that is object oriented and component based". Such phrases are repeated throughout the text. Apart from the language of the book I must say that it has given me a lot of insights into the unification of various UML constructs and I give it 5 stars because of that.
