Summary: Written by lecturers...?!
Comment: This book is okay to start with. It definitely does what it sets out to do. I am an MCSD and have eight years experience in software development and I was of the opinion that the examples used in the book, were not well thought out and showed lack of experience on the part of the authors, both of whom are attached to universities, which reminded me of the saying: "those who can't do, teach".

Summary: Easy read, but a bit too simplistic
Comment: I was able to complete this book in two evenings, and it does serve as a good introduction to UML and object oriented programming. I just wish it went a little deeper, and I found some of the authors design choices suspect to say the least. I just didn't get how a video (one of the classes explored) could search for other videos. This should be a function of a container class (video_collection or something), yet the authors treated the video class as an instance of a video and a collection at the same time. If you're looking to get started learning OOP and UML, this is a decent start, but just don't expect much more than the basics.

Summary: Excellent introductory book on OO analysis and design
Comment: I have recently started to use this book in an undergraduate application development course which I have taught for the past 5 years. I must have looked at around 30 books before I chose this one. The book I used before this was Rumbaugh's Object-oriented modeling and design copyright 1990. The administration was on me to get a newer textbook.
This book is easy to read and covers quite nicely the standard OO concepts of encapsulation, inheritance, aggregation, polymorphism, message sending, etc. I like the way it starts with a simple application, then adds complexity.
It does not overload the student with details of UML but covers the main constructs. It does not present a lot of actual implementation code. One 20 page chapter is devoted to OO programming in Java.
A good introductory text but not suitable for graduate work.
