Applying UML and Patterns Training Course: A Desktop Seminar from Craig Larman (2nd Edition)

Rating:
Summary: Larman is the Voice of Reason for OOA/OOD
Review: Finally someone who can put a wide range of OO concepts into a format that the average developer can understand. We need more titles in this format. I especially enjoyed his defense of iterative development (versus waterfall), and recommendations for XP documentation. May be too basic for some OO developers, but still good as a review. Also time well spent in preparation for the IBM UML certification exam, or play it during lunch for your friends at work!

Summary: PTG and Larman score a win!
Review: If you like Craig Larman's Applying UML and Patterns, then this multimedia CD-ROM is absolutely faithful to the real thing. Congratulations to PTG Interactive and Craig Larman for creating a useful multimedia application! Larman appears in a small box in the upper left corner of a QuickTime video with the majority of the video showing diagrams and slides, which Larman narrates. The quality of the video is good and the sound is excellent. The material covers most of the 2nd Edition of Larman's book and adds some additional material on the GoF Patterns. In order to really benefit from this video, you should get the book as well and read along. It is the leading book published on the UML.

Rating:
Summary: Excellent
Review: This is an excellent training course. It is not just about UML, but puts UML into practice for an object-oriented approach. The video material is of a high quality and clarity. If this is the future of "interactive" training, then I am all for it. A worthwhile purchase.

Summary: This is such a good introduction.
Review: This is such a wonderful educational tool for beginners or anyone interested in Object orientated analysis and design. I really do think people new to Java, C# etc.. would benefit from purchasing this course. Everyone knows the quality of Craig Larmans books, this course is quality too. Excellent Product!!
