Tutorial: Primo primer on UML & patterns in an agile context
Primo primer on UML & patterns in an agile context
Tutorial Details:
Those who said this book isn't applicable to the real world must not work in the real world. The agile UP implementation described herein addresses many of the problems faced by front-heavy software methodologies today. I work for an enterprise consulting firm, and would like to get everyone at my company to read this book.
It is an excellent primer on using UML and patterns in the context of an agile unified process, with examples in Java. Even as an experienced architect/developer, I found the book enlightening -- it's definitely not your standard "intro for dummies" book. Although I'm a big Fowler fan, I found its treatment of UML to be much more applicable (love the examples) than UML Distilled. It's also a great introduction to why and how to implement an agile process. A particular favorite of mine is its laundry list of things that indicate you AREN'T following an agile process, which should be a checklist for software development companies everywhere.
