| Applying UML and Patterns : An Introduction to Object-Oriented Analysis and Design and Iterative Development (Prentice Hall) | Craig Larman | Although you will learn UML, this isn't what Applying UML and Patterns is all about. It's designed to teach you to think of software as a collection of objects with properties and to manipulate the relationships between them. This is far more profound. “People often ask me which is the best book to introduce them to the world of OO design. Ever since I came across it, ‘Applying UML and Patterns’ has been my unreserved choice.” —Martin Fowler, author, “UML Distilled” | | Architecture | _blank | Yes |
