The "Aha!" of object-modeling

+ Whoa!! Now I'm FREE!!!!

Java Modeling In Color With UML: Enterprise Components and Process25 reviews
Peter Coad, Eric Lefebvre, ...

Prentice Hall PTR, 1999

Ignore the Java

+ How to think about modeling, not how to model. Amazing book but not for everyone.

The book presents an approach to generalizing business components (modelliing patterns - referred to as archetypes) that really helps one to ...

Enterprise Modeling with UML: Designing Successful Software through Business Analysis (Addison-Wesley Object ...7 reviews
Chris Marshall

Addison-Wesley Professional, 1999

Nice starting point for real work

+ Great inspiration

Usually I don't like BPR books or others regarding business subjects: they're all contain discussions based on simple common sense. As Marshall starts from the UML perspective, he deals with the issue with great concreteness and, most of all, you can understand there's a way to setup real business ...
