UML and the Unified Process: practical object-oriented analysis and design Review by i see the world
Good UML/UP Book
Actually I wanted to give 4.5 stars for this book.
One of the best UML books i have read so far, very clear and sets lot of things straight in the somewhat vague (if we don't know the concepts behind the diagrams) UML world..! Has a slight Java bias, which is understandable.
One complain i always have against UML (not this book) itself is.. most software professionals should be very familiar with UML and the methodologies first before developing something or be a part of the project - but it has always been the other way so far. You do 2 or 3 projects, know all the mistakes, then realize the importance of something like UML and try to learn it. In fact UML itself borrows so liberally from C++ and other Object Oriented languages than leading the software engineering. And then the companies coming out with their own methodologies (rather than improving UML itself) to grab the market.. it can be quite difficult.
This book treats most of the technologies it refers quite fairly - with even some C# and Java comparisons side-by-side. Another notable thing is the wonderful style adopted that makes it an easy read, stressing important points again and again, clear summary at the end of each chapter without missing anything etc.,
