Object-Oriented Systems Analysis and Design Using UML

by: Simon Bennett, Steve Mcrobb, Ray Farmer

July 04, 2006
I read this book during my first year at Uni and found it to be informative and useful. Although it can be dull in some parts it is a decent introduction to OO systems analysis. However do read other books on this subject to accompany this book.

Schaum's Outline of UML (Schaum's Outline Series)

by: Simon Bennett, John Skelton, Ken Lunn

December 01, 2004
This book is NOT a good book for learning or referencing UML.

The authors have a terrible writing style, the wording and struture is awful, which makes it incredibly difficult to read, and follow.
Whilst the fluency is none existent.

The diagrams and examples are random, there is no noticable theme, and the introduction to some complex diagrams follows a 'deep end' & 'thrown in' approach.

In all I can see no reason for this book. If you are learning UML it is far too unhelpful, if you require a reference look elsewhere.

The Complete Come and Praise: Music and Words (Come & Praise)

by: Colin Evans, David Cooke, David Lynch, David Self, David Stoll, Donald Swann, Edna Bird, Elizabeth Bennett, Estelle White, Tom McGuinness, Geoff Marshall-Taylor, Geoffrey Gardner, Hazel Charlton, Jancis Harvey, John (Edward) Jones, John Oxenham, Marion Payton, Dexter.J. Booth, Pamela Appleford, R M Vince, Robert L. Smith, Roger Courtney, Sheila Cozens, Simon Fitter, Timothy Dudley-Smith

I bought this book for some sing along fun with my young family. I'm not remotely religious, but there are some "classics" here that I enjoyed singing at school in the 1980's and I was surprised by how many I still knew well.

There are two complete edtions on offer, so I went for this the cheaper version, as I couldn't see any reason not to. When it arrived I realised it was cheaper because it is the WORDS ONLY edition - a fact which you can't quite make out from the picture (or at least I couldn't). Anyway, I now have the other edition too which has the WORDS AND MUSIC which helps if you want to play along as I did.

Hope that helps.

Human Error: By Design?

by: Simon Bennett

June 01, 2001
This monograph draws upon the literature from a wide range of social science and engineering disciplines to persuasively argue that while aviation disasters are often attributed solely to 'pilot error' on many occasions it is in fact design and operating factors that are at the root of the problem.

The author presents his evidence in an interesting and engaging style. In the first section, the underlying theory of why pilots often get the blame when something goes wrong is discussed. Arguments to support why this should not be the case, using evidence drawn from social psychology and systems theory, is then presented. Using a series of case studies, the proposed counter view that aviation disasters are holistic in nature rather than due to pilot ... Read More:
