Praise for Tom Pender's UML Weekend Crash Course

Your book is one of the best I've read to learn and understand the basics of UML in a really short time. I will recommend it to my entire team!

Your book has been the best UML guideline I have read. I initially chose the book as an overview, but it is complete, accurate, and detailed enough for us to use as a reference. I'm sorry to say that the book is “dog-eared” and its spine is cracked. But for an author, that should be a badge of honor. Thanks again for a fantastic book.

Thank you very much for writing UML Weekend Crash Course! I just finished working through your book and I continuously had the idea that the various diagrams make sense, that they interrelate and that they have practical applicability. I found the examples particularly useful and feel confident that I can adapt, expand, and apply the examples to real-life projects.

Thanks again, and keep up the good work!

A great book to get started with UML! Tom Pender's UML Weekend Crash Course is very readable and it is much easier to understand than other books on UML I have read. It covers fundamentals of UML principles, is comprehensive and clear. The example that is used throughout the book works well to demonstrate each section. We are one of the major UML tool vendors, and we were looking for a book to recommend as additional reading fro our UML courses. Our company has decided to provide this book for our courses as the most suitable to learn UML fundamentals.
