Negative Positive
Title: Just poorly written
Review: I thought this book would be up to the usual O'Reilly standards. I was wrong. Don't bother.UML In a Nutshell should be about half its current size. It's full of verbiage that doesn't really add anything. The book should "cut to the chase" and get stuff accomplished up-front, rather than wax philosophical in bureaucratese for the first three chapters.Bits like "The problem occurs within a business context (domain or space). The solution must be realized to fit within the organization's information technology infrastructure (domain or space)." [p16] should be taken out and shot with the bullets from the neighboring pages. I mean really, who cares (domain or space)?You can open this book at random and find pretty much the same kind of writing.Sorry. At least it wasn't that expensive (domain or space).
Is the review positive or negative?
