Summary: Another Bull's Eye for Scott
Review: This is a great book! In the past, I have found Scott Ambler's books to be insightful by being able to poke a little fun at the "establishment" while steering us back on to the path toward the good and virtuous. Scott reinforces his points with selected works from others. Well worth the time to read.

Summary: The RUP would be RIP without this book
Review: This is a really great book. It goes into detail about an improved version of the lifecycle for the Unified Process, one that actually addresses the real world needs of most companies. Trying to use the RUP on multiple projects? Trying to have a common architecture between them? Worried about integrating with your legacy systems? This book covers these topics and more with some of the best articles ever published in Software Development magazine. I'm really into some of the philosophies of XP and as a result really liked the chapter on testing which presents a wide range of testing techniques and strategies. The A&D chapter included a really great article about distributed object design by Scott Ambler and one about Java interface design by Peter Coad, two topics critical for EJB development IMHO. The business modeling chapter was excellent, covering essential modeling, business rules, and a great UML article by Martin Fowler. It's amazing how this book collects some of the best material written by the best minds in the computer industry.

Personally, I can't imagine anyone adopting the RUP without first reading this book series. I think it's great that someone has gone to the effort to sort through the best articles written by some of the best minds in this industry. Kudos to Ambler and Constantine for having the courage to stand up and say what many others have been afraid to.
