Title: bad examples, no narrative
Review: I was expecting a whole lot more. The examples are contrived and not very interesting. The prose consists of lists and lists.I remember picking up the first edition of Java in a Nutshell and basically figuring out the whole language from reading the first 40 pages. That is what I was expecting here and it did NOT deliver.I would return it if I could. As it is, I am trying to select a UML text for a course I am teaching, and I was hoping I had found an inexpensive choice that the students would be able to use as a reference, while giving a reasonable explanation of the basics of UML. Wrong.
Is the review positive or negative?
