Ambler's book contains a great deal of helpful information about the entire process of object-oriented software development, much of which I will put to good use. But the typography of the sidebars (definitions and tips) is unreadable, figures are often amateurish in appearance and sometimes superfluous, the information on Java is outdated, and the author's bias toward Smalltalk (almost all of the examples are written in it) is somewhat annoying.

This is good book book for someone that already does some object oriented programming and would like to learn the whole OO process. The author does a good job but the graphics came out pretty horrible, you can barely read them.

Lots of books give lots of theory, but this book really tells you how to do it. He makes sense. His approach is practical and his implementation explanations are useable.
