An Introduction to Object-Oriented Analysis and Design and Iterative Development (3rd Edition)

Applying UML and Patterns

Recep Karabicak

This book covers a variety of software development topics like UML, object oriented anlaysis/design, design patterns and iterative/agile development. These are topics to which entire books were dedicated. What you’ll find here will only scratch the surface of each without going into deep discussions.

If you are new to object oriented programming or software development in general this book is a great starting point. 

If you are already familiar with the subjects and have some oop, iterative development experience then consider this book to polish your knowledge and fill the gaps. 

But if you are on the other end of the scale and feel confident about the topics and been developing for quite some time there is nothing new here. 

I am of the second group and found the material helpful. The GRASP idiom was completely new to me. The only issue i see is the usage of Unified Process as an iterative approach. Your chances to put the unified process knowledge to use is very slim in a Scrum world.
