   I recently ordered "Design Patterns: AND Applying UML and Patterns, an Introduction to Object-Oriented Analysis and Design and Iterative Development: Elements of Reusable Object-oriented Software". Although i could not find information as to whether it concerned two separate books or two books in one, i was looking for references on both Design Patterns and UML. It turned out to concern two books and although i haven't finished reading both from front to cover, i am impressed with the quality of the material in both. Design Patters is a book that i use a lot for reference and for a great perspective on how to set up object-oriented software designs. Applying UML and patters provides valuable information on how to apply UML and patterns during real-life software development. It it written in a down-to-earth fashion and is a great help because it explains all stages of iterative sofware development and all points that need attention. It also tells you when not to use UML and how UML was intended.
