What do UML books talk about?
Vahid Garousi wrote an interesting classification and trend analysis of the UML books published between 1997 and 2009. The survey includes a word cloud of book titles (the words “UML”, “software”, “object-oriented”, and “systems” are very common in this context, so they were excluded from the input text ) that I’ve found interesting (and I
Object Constraint Language (OCL): A definitive guide
As part of my participation in the 12th Int. School on Formal Methods: Model-Driven Engineering (SFM´12) I´ve co-authored a book chapter (together with Martin Gogolla) introducing the Object Constraint Language (you may want to read why you need to learn OCL first). The abstract of the chapter is the following: The Object Constraint Language (OCL)
SFM-12 MDE Summer School

Our upcoming book: Model-Driven Software Engineering
I’m very happy to announce that we ( Marco Brambilla, myself and Manuel Wimmer) are working on a Model Driven Software Engineering book to be published next Spring (if everything goes according to the plan ) by Morgan&Claypool. Read the rest of the post to learn more about what is the book about and why we though
Modeling Style Guidelines by Scott W. Ambler
Scott W. Ambler (I don’t think I need to introduce him, do I?) has published online many of the modeling style guidelines that he presented in the book The Elements OF UML(TM) 2.0 Style Instead of providing yet another resource on UML focused on explaining the language and its notation, it presents modeling guidelines (from layout guidelines
More than 50.000 books on UML (in French) sold
Our colleague Pascal Roques announced that he has sold more than 50.000 copies of his UML books (in French). An impressive achievement that shows that whether UML works or not (see this discussion or all the other never-ending discussions we have had here) there is still a strong interest from practitioners. If you are also
15 wisdom pearls on Software Architecture from the AOSA book
I’ve just finished reading the book “The Architecture of Open Source Applications” (eds. Amy Brown and Greg Wilson ). In it, the authors of twenty-five open source applications explain how their software is structured, and why. What are each program’s major components? How do they interact? AND what did their builders learn during their development?
Interesting book project on DSL Enginering
Markus Voelter AND Eelco Visser have just announced their project TO WRITE a book ON DSL Engineering . The introduction IS already online AND probably MORE content will be posted online too.
Clearly, a book TO follow.
