This book is easy to read (even for non-technical people) and gives pointed, practical advice on projects in general - not only UML. For such a short, concise book, I feel that I have learnt ALOT in a very short period of time. I might not be a UML expert but I’m not afraid to get started on it anymore. It feels like something I can easily master if I put in the time and effort. Before reading the book, I felt like it was “over my head”. Thank you to the author! And thank you again. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Shortcut to the UML *by O***E on Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2024* The book arrived in perfect condition. A nice short presentation of each diagram of the UML. The author did a great job of creating examples to better show how each diagram can be used. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars A good and brief guide to UML *by F***O on Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2010* As the front page subtitle states, this is a brief guide to the UML. It is also a good one.The first chapter is an introduction to UML, including some short history on the language. The second chapter covers the Development Process with a quick overview of a couple of them - i.e. Agile, RUP, ...- followed by some guidance on choosing the right one.The following chapters cover the main UML diagrams, respectively, the Class, Sequence, Object, Package, Deployment, Use Case, State Machine, Activity, Communication, Composite Structure, Component, Collaboration, Interaction Overview and Timing Diagrams. At the end, there is an appendix that summarizes the changes between UML versions.Not all of the diagrams get in-depth coverage. Whereas Class Diagrams get the most attention of the author with two chapters specifically dedicated to them, Object, Deployment, Communication, Composite Structures, Component, Collaboration, Interaction Overview and Timing Diagrams get only a few pages, between two and four. Some of them are just limited to the sample diagrams that illustrate the chapter, with no or little text to support them. Rather than a shortcoming, this seems to be ensuing from the author's willingness to have the book limited to a few pages - 150 exactly, without the appendix -, covering what he considers to be essential.As such, this book is no replacement for the three classic UML books, i.e. the User's Guide, the Reference Manual and the Unified Process of the Booch/Jacobson/Rumbaugh Object Technology Series that the reader, in my opinion, will anyway have to go through until he/she gains sufficient working proficiency with the language. If the reader's intention is so, he/she'll be better inspired reading "UML Distilled" after, or better, in parallel with the User's Guide, diagram after diagram and have a look at the Reference Manual on selected dictionary terms, as necessary. The Unified Process book can be read independently.This is not a book an OOA/OOD. As prerequisite, the reader is expected to be comfortable enough with OO concepts such as Class, Object, Relationship, Aggregation, Composition, Inheritance, etc. Although not required, working proficiency with a former OO modeling method - e.g. Fusion, in my case - will help. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.uy/products/2697604-uml-distilled-a-brief-guide-to-the-standard-object-modeling](https://www.desertcart.uy/products/2697604-uml-distilled-a-brief-guide-to-the-standard-object-modeling) --- *Product available on Desertcart Uruguay* *Store origin: UY* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
