The name "UML Weekend Crash Course" is misleading. I don't think anyone can read and understand it in one weekend, unless of course he is reading about six times faster than me. This book has long and obscure sentences and too much of unnecessary information. The chapter on Object-Oriented principles is written so badly, that I doubt in the authors competence. It mentions two major OO postulates "encapsulation" and "inheritance" but leaves out the third one "polymorphism". But he rumbles on for pages about some unrelated stuff. Also, this book was published before the UML-2 standard came out, so it is somewhat outdated. I would recommend "UML Distilled" by Martin Fowler instead of this book.Product Description
