Laughable
Can I have my money back?
I wish I had something more positive to say about this "book" but I can't - really not good.

Great Entry Level Book
This book should be titled: "How to Think about Developing a Software Application" or "The Process Major Consultant and Software Design Firms use to Build Software Applications."I agree the book was a bit superficial on teaching you everything you need to know about UML. And the book could have benefited from more UML diagrams, but I learned so much more about other related topics which is what makes this book so great. The authors talk about the whole software development process - not just UML. This is the best entry level book I have read that gives a complete picture to the mystery of creating an Object Oriented software project. There's a lot more they could have said on software development and UML, but for a relatively easy to read book of 300 pages, I learned a tremendous amount of base knowledge that I'm sure a lot of traditional programmers may take for granted - such folks may have hoped for more UML info. Oh yes, I also got a good introduction to UML too.

Clear, concise, and exactly what I was looking for...
I'm very pleased with this book. The authors take you step-by-step through the visual modeling process using UML and Java. I read the book cover to cover. It's almost like a good friend taking your hand and guiding you all the way. I would highly recommend this book if you are new to UML or not clear on how the many diagrams fit together to elaborate an analysis and design effort. Thanks, Paul Harmon and Mark Watson for writing such a great read.
