useless
complete waste of money. It's more of a Rational Rose for dummies book than anything else. Dont waste your money


Rating: 4 out of 5
It's a good beginner's book.
Together with the Rose tutorial comes with software, you are going to start using Rose fast. Just wish the book comes with the example model in a CD or somehow users can get from internet. That will save lots of trouble and I can look into details not mentioned in the book and do some thinking "why she modeled it this way?"....and why she has this object/class, isn't it already in...?

I use it as a wrist rest next to my mouse
Rational software ships this book free when you buy Rational Rose. Even then it is overpriced. If you don't know UML, this book may lead you astray. The author tells you how to draw things with Rational Rose, but not why you might want to draw them. Without a doubt, the worst UML book I've ever encountered. I feel sorry for the author; it seems that she (?) was probably tasked by Rational to write a user's manual for Rational rose, and someone at Rational thought they could make some more money by publishing it as a separate book. Unfortunately, it's insufficiently thorough to be a worthwhile user's manual.
