Hello everybody,

Until now, our company has not required us to use UML. I am looking for
some suggestions of some books that might help me to get up to speed.

There are two books I am looking at:

UML Distilled (Third Edition)
Writing Effective Use Cases (Cockburn)

Are there any others that people may suggest?

Thanks in advance,
cj

I've had mixed results with this. I've taught UML classes, and been through
this quite a bit. I've never come across something I really liked.

I've had better luck with more specialized books - "Uml with Viso" or "Uml
with Rational" than I have with the more pure Uml books. I remember quite
liking "Professional Uml with Visual Studio .Net". This wasn't a great UML
book, but it really went through how to do basic UML with Visio and that
helped quite a bit.

(Ah! FxCop is affecting everything I type. I'm used to typing "Uml" (and
"Xml") in code now, so that it passes FxCop naming rules. Problem is they're
supposed to be "UML" and "XML". Ugh.)

I've used Applying UML and Patterns by Craig Larman as a basis for many
UMl courses. It not only explains UML, but also explains how UML can
help to improve the development process and how it helps to improve the
code you write.
