Review title: Dangerous book, very missleading
Product review: The book is very consumable. It's easy to follow and easy to learn from. For the new to UML reader it seems like such a relief to find a book that describes it so easy. This is where the problem starts, the book is simply incorrect in a lot of cases. Some examples below:It describes the RUP as waterfall. Superimposing workflows on phases. The author thinks that the inception phase is analysis. This could essentially drive a project to failure. It's obvious the author has never successfully implemented RUP.Some of the diagrams are wrong (i.e. The extension points are on the wrong use cases) and the emphasis on diagramming use cases instead of writing them is an obvious novice mistake.Larman's Applying UML and Patterns is just as simple to read but is actually correct. Please at least review Larman's book before purchasing this terrible title.
