| UML 2 Certification Guide: Fundamental & Intermediate Exams (The OMG Press) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The popular Unified Modeling Language (UML) is both a language and notation developed by the Object Management Group (OMG) used to design and create specifications for software systems. With the recent release of version 2.0 UML, the OMG has started the OMG-Certified UML Professional Program to provide an objective measure of UML knowledge. As a certified UML professional a developer has an important credential to present to employers and clients. Certification also benefits companies looking for skilled UML practitioners by giving them a basis for making hiring and promotion decisions.
UML 2 Certification Guide is the only official study guide to passing the new UML exams. This book systematically covers all of the topics covered in the exams, and has been carefully reviewed by the OMG. The book begins by assuming only a basic knowledge of UML and then progresses far enough to allow a reader to pass both the fundamental and the intermediate level exams. Along the way the book also covers topics that are not in introductory books on UML but that are necessary to pass the exams. Tim Weilkiens is considered one of the top ten experts on UML, and both authors have extensive experience training developers to successfully take the exams. * The official certification resource * Assumes a basic knowledge of UML so that you can focus immediately on the exams * Written by two authors known for their skill as trainers, consultants, and developers * Developed systematically to enable you to master all exam topicswithout exception * Covers the use of UML for applications, as required by the exams, both inside and outside of the realm of software development * Includes a practice exam, glossary, list of books, and website information |

I used this book to prepare for the basic exam and passed it first try with a score of about 85%. Its a tough, quite abstract exam but I think a very good one and this book would have been all I needed to pass. The sample exam in the book is a very good indication of where your level needs to be. The certification guide also deepened my knowledge of UML considerably - which I have been using off and on over the past 8 years.
The book is perhaps a little too terse and very dense and thats the only reason I didnt give it 5 stars as a preparation resource. I'm going to use it to prepare for the intermediate exam too... (Review Data Last Updated: 2008-11-18 12:52:05 EST)

I want to purchase this book, but I've noticed its price here on Amazon has been switching between $30+ and $50+ a number of times every week, for several months now. What's going on with that? This strange and frequent price oscillation, and the significant price difference involved, is preventing me from purchasing the book, despite all the acclaims.

Really complete book, clear and concise. It's a very good tool to pass both of the exams, as well it's a great resource for those who want to initiate and work with UML.

Before buying this book, I had no doubt that it would be instrumental in passing my certification exams. I did pass the the Fundamental exam in the first try itself and I don't believe I would've been able to do so if I had not laid hands on this material. Neither do I think there's a book out there that covers UML with the level of detail as this one does. After all, this guide is published by the same Group that sets the UML standards and administers the certification program! I'll be referring back to it again for my Intermediate-level exam. Thanks OMG!

This is a good book for preparing to the OMG UML exam. Each one of the most important elements of the UML metamodel are treated with a simplified view.
The sample exam of the end is so useful. I recommend the book. (Review Data Last Updated: 2007-09-29 19:11:06 EST)

I passed the Fundamental exam with a score of 66/80 using this book exclusively. It is very concise and to the point. It has 34 practice questions in the back that help you prepare for the Fundamental exam. The questions are similar to the real exam questions. There are no practice questions for the Intermediate exam. I am now using this book to prepare for the Intermediate exam.
