1.7. Further Readings

A very readable and popular summary of essential UML notation is UML Distilled, by Martin Fowler.

A succinct and popular introduction to the Unified Process (and its refinement in the Rational Unified Process) is The Rational Unified Process—An Introduction by Philippe Kruchten.

For a detailed discussion of UML (version 1.3) notation, The Unified Modeling Language Reference Manual and The Unified Modeling Language User Guide, by Booch, Jacobson, and Rumbaugh are worthwhile. Note that these texts were not meant for learning how to do object modeling or OOA/D—they are UML diagram notation references.

For a description of the current version of the UML, the on-line OMG Unified Modeling Language Specification at www.omg.org is necessary. UML revision work and soon-to-be released versions can be found at www.celigent.com/uml.

There are many books on software patterns, but the seminal classic is Design Patterns, by Gamma, Helm, Johnson, and Vlissides. It is truly required reading for those studying object design. However, it is not an introductory text and is best read after developing comfort with the fundamentals of object design and programming.
