I don't think anyone can read and understand it in one weekend, unless of course he is reading about six times faster than me. This book has long and obscure sentences and too much of unnecessary information. The chapter on Object-Oriented principles is written so badly, that I doubt in the authors competence. It mentions two major OO postulates "encapsulation" and "inheritance" but leaves out the third one "polymorphism". But he rumbles on for pages about some unrelated stuff. Also, this book was published before the UML-2 standard came out, so it is somewhat outdated. I would recommend "UML Distilled" by Martin Fowler instead of this book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Take your time. You'll be glad you did. *by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2016* I can't say enough about this book. I've been reading and studying it for the past couple of weeks, taking notes, creating diagrams, etc. Looking forward to applying UML principles to projects in my business.The information is too important to breeze through in one weekend! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Simple & Straight-forward Approach to Learning UML *by M***T on Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2006* A number of books have been written about the "Unified Modeling Language" (UML), but few are as easy to understand as the 2002 book "UML Weekend Crash Course" by Thomas A. Pender. Intended to be read over the course of a weekend (beginning on a Friday evening and ending on the following Sunday afternoon), the book is divided into six parts based upon time: Friday evening, Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon, Saturday evening, Sunday morning and Sunday afternoon. Now, just because the author intended that someone would be able to completely read the book over the course of a single weekend doesn't obligate any reader to do that. However, the reader should expect to obtain at least a basic understanding of the fundamental diagrams used in UML: use case diagrams, activity diagrams, class diagrams, object diagrams, sequence diagrams, collaboration diagrams, package diagrams, component diagrams and deployment diagrams. Of these, probably the most important are the use case diagrams, activity diagrams, class diagrams, sequence diagrams and package diagrams.Though the author points out that UML diagrams can be done by hand, anyone who needs to use UML diagrams should use a software package to simplify their construction and storage because UML diagrams can become rather complex and may require periodic changes, especially when being used to design a new software application. Though there are a number of commercial applications available for UML design, there are also free UML design packages available for download from the Internet, including a few that are used interactively within software IDE's. (The latter may also have auto-code generation.)As with any software language or modeling tool, it takes time to learn UML. In my opinion, the book "UML Weekend Crash Course" will accelerate that learning process, but you will no doubt require other UML resources (books & software), as well as experience. If you need to learn UML quickly, then I highly recommend this book, which I rate with 5 out of 5 stars. As an experienced software engineer, this book was an invaluable tool for learning UML and continues to be a useful reference. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/19029684-uml-weekend-crash-course](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/19029684-uml-weekend-crash-course) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
