Robert Cecil Martin 2003

UML for Java programmers by Bob Martin.

This is a simple easy-to-read UML intro by Uncle Bob. It isn't for language lawyers; it shows UML the way Bob likes to use it, deviating from the standard wherever Bob likes to do things his own way.

I like this book because I share most of the prejudices of the author.

This book is relevant to 427 because it describes several of Bob Martin's principles and related ideas. Chapter 6 contains:

• Design quality
  • Design smells [cf. Code smells
  • Dependency management
• The Single responsibility principle
• The Open closed principle
• The Liskov substitution principle
• The Dependency inversion principle
• Conclusion
• Notes
