学习 UML 最好从阅读开始。市面上 UML 图书的品种很多，让人有点看不过来。学习 UML，如果以为就是学会几张图、几个符号，那就太天真了！学习 UML 意味着学习一批东西，重点在于学习 UML 的建模方法，掌握如何运用 UML 在业务建模、需求建模、软件架构设计和 OO 编程（统称 OOAD）当中获得最佳效果的方法。迄今，统一过程 UP（或 RUP）仍然是学习 UML 建模流程、方法和步骤的最重要参考之一。学习 UML，必然还要同时学习 Use Case（用例）技术。我把 UML、UP、Use Case 合称为 U3。所以，以下我们除了列出介绍 UML 语言本身的图书之外，还列举了与之相关的 OOAD、UP、用例、业务建模等类别的著作。

我的推荐 Craig Larman 的《UML 和模式应用》十多年来一直是学习 UML 和 OOAD 技术的经典。这本书的内容相当丰富，有 700 多页，涵盖 UML、OOAD、设计模式和 OOD 原则（GRASP、GoF 等）、软件架构设计、统一过程 UP、迭代式开发、敏捷建模等等。 UML和模式应用 (4046) UML Distilled: A Brief Guide to the Standard Object Modeling Language (3rd Edition) by Martin Fowler (Paperback - Sep 25, 2003) Amazon Unified Modeling Language User Guide, The (2nd Edition) by Grady Booch, James Rumbaugh, and Ivar Jacobson (Hardcover - May 29, 2005) OOAD 类 Object-Oriented Analysis and Design with Applications (3rd Edition) by Grady Booch, Robert A.
