An excellent introduction book for software architect
If you want to be an archtiect or a lead programmer, read it and try to make sense of it. Otherwise, don't bother.
Rating: 3 out of 5
Repetitious and disorganized
Like many software developers with good ideas, the trio of Jacobson/Booch/Rumbaugh can't write to save their souls. There's good material in here if you can filter out the tedious repetitions, redundancies, and points of misplaced emphasis. The book completely fails to communicate the authors' important methodological insights. Sigh. I'm disappointed. But I'm keeping the book; it's good enough to stay in my library for a while.
Rating: 3 out of 5
Bone dry reference material
There is not much more to add beyond the title of my review. Jacobson, Booch and Rumbaugh may be the fathers of UP but their writing style is far too academic for the average reader. Keep this book on your top shelf as reference material when you need to clarify a point on UP. But if you need a more manageable understanding of the unified process, buy Philippe Kruchten's "The Rational Unified Process, An Introduction". It's RUP for the common programmer. Another book to buy is Craig Larman's "Applying UML and Patterns: An Introduction to OOAD and the Unified Process". Larman does an excellent job at demonstrating how UP can be used on a real project.
