TL;DR: In The Unified Modeling Language User Guide, the original developers of the UML provide a tutorial to the core aspects of the language in a two-color format designed to facilitate learning.
Abstract: In The Unified Modeling Language User Guide, the original developers of the UML--Grady Booch, James Rumbaugh, and Ivar Jacobson--provide a tutorial to the core aspects of the language in a two-color format designed to facilitate learning. Starting with a conceptual model of the UML, the book progressively applies the UML to a series of increasingly complex modeling problems across a variety of application domains. This example-driven approach helps readers quickly understand and apply the UML. For more advanced developers, the book includes a learning track focused on applying the UML to advanced modeling problems.With The Unified Modeling Language User Guide, readers will:Understand what the UML is, what it is not, and why it is relevant to the development of software-intensive systemsMaster the vocabulary, rules, and idioms of the UML in order to "speak" the language effectivelyLearn how to apply the UML to a number of common modeling problemsSee illustrations of the UML's use interspersed with use cases for specific UML features, andGain insight into the UML from the original creators of the UML.

TL;DR: The Unified Modeling Language Reference Manual as discussed by the authors provides an excellent real-world guide to working with UML, from structured design methods of the '60s and '70s to the competing object-oriented design standards that were unified to create UML.
Abstract: Written by the three pioneers behind the Unified Modeling Language (UML) standard, The Unified Modeling Language Reference Manual provides an excellent real-world guide to working with UML. This title provides expert knowledge on all facets of today's UML standard, helping developers who are encountering UML on the job for the first time to be more productive. The book begins with a history of UML, from structured design methods of the '60s and '70s to the competing object-oriented design standards that were unified in 1997 to create UML. For the novice, the authors illustrate key diagram types such as class, use case, state machine, activity, and implementation. (Of course, learning these basic diagram types is what UML is all about. The authors use an easy-to-understand ticket-booking system for many of their examples.) After a tour of basic document types, The Unified Modeling Language Reference Manual provides an alphabetical listing of more than 350 UML terms. Entries range from a sentence or two to several pages in length. (Class, operation, and use case are just a few of the important terms that are covered.) Though you will certainly need to be acquainted with software engineering principles, this reference will serve the working software developer well. As the authors note, this isn't UML for Dummies, but neither is it an arcane academic treatise. The authors succeed in delivering a readable reference that will answer any UML question, no matter how common or obscure. --Richard Dragan

TL;DR: This book provides a comprehensive guide to The Objectory Software Development Process derived from the three market leading OOA&D methods: Booch, OOSE (Use-Case), and OMT.
Abstract: The three amigos of software development come together again to bring you an introduction to a new standard for creating today's software that will definitely be useful for any developer or manager familiar with UML. This book provides a comprehensive guide to The Objectory Software Development Process derived from the three market leading OOA&D methods: Booch, OOSE (Use-Case), and OMT. Overviews of the four basic principles of the Unified Process are complemented by excellent use case examples that are drawn from such areas as banking and inventory control.

01 Jan 1994TL;DR: The book is an introduction to the idea of design patterns in software engineering, and a catalog of twenty-three common patterns, which most experienced OOP designers will find out they've known about patterns all along.
Abstract: The book is an introduction to the idea of design patterns in software engineering, and a catalog of twenty-three common patterns. The nice thing is, most experienced OOP designers will find out they've known about patterns all along. It's just that they've never considered them as such, or tried to centralize the idea behind a given pattern so that it will be easily reusable.

TL;DR: The Gelfant 4 toolkit as discussed by the authors is a toolkit for simulating the passage of particles through matter, including a complete range of functionality including tracking, geometry, physics models and hits.
Abstract: G eant 4 is a toolkit for simulating the passage of particles through matter. It includes a complete range of functionality including tracking, geometry, physics models and hits. The physics processes offered cover a comprehensive range, including electromagnetic, hadronic and optical processes, a large set of long-lived particles, materials and elements, over a wide energy range starting, in some cases, from 250 eV and extending in others to the TeV energy range. It has been designed and constructed to expose the physics models utilised, to handle complex geometries, and to enable its easy adaptation for optimal use in different sets of applications. The toolkit is the result of a worldwide collaboration of physicists and software engineers. It has been created exploiting software engineering and object-oriented technology and implemented in the C++ programming language. It has been used in applications in particle physics, nuclear physics, accelerator design, space engineering and medical physics.
