Quick read

It's a great over view of UML and design practices. This book is what it says it is, an introduction to designing with UML. If you have never worked with UML 2.x before then get this book. If you have already worked with UML and want a reference manual or something more in depth about design patterns and methods, go with something else. Although you could still use this book as a pseudo reference, it suggests other references for further reading on certain topics.

One thing I would have liked was to have exercise suggestions at the end of each chapter as a way to practice.
