coursebook on UML, OOAD, and C#

Hi,

I am looking for a coursebook on UML/OOAD, with particular emphasis on C#. Most books tend to be on Java or be non-language specific, but it would be nice having a book combining the two. For example, VS has automatic generation for class diagrams and sequence diagrams, so there ought to be books on OOAD with C#, but I can't seem to find any good ones when seaching Google.

Thanks for any suggestion!

Thanks for the link!

Great stuff and I'll bookmark the link, but there's no OOAD/UML.

Thanks again

What about pluralsight?
they have literally hundreds and hundreds of good quality training videos. It's not a book but maybe it's good enough?
For example: http://beta.pluralsight.com/courses/vs2010-uml

Thanks! I'll look at the videos. However, I need to suggest a coursebook for a programming course, so I really do need a coursebook. :)

Professional UML Using Visual Studio .Net ?

Thanks! Looks interesting and I'll probably buy it, but it says in the description of the book that it doesn't cover the basics of UML. It's like they hint in their text: "For the developer already familiar with UML and looking to get the best out of Visio, the Visual Studio .NET and Visio for Enterprise Architects combination is weakly documented, and the quality information needed to realize the time-saving features of Visio just does not seem to be available, until now."

In other words, my question seem legit so to speak - there's not much literature that combines UML and VS (strangely enough).

Hi again,

It really seems as if there is no good boook for this, strange as it seems. Deitel & Deitel's book is good however, and has some info on UML and the OOAD process as well.

There is a rather unique small book, from 2005, by Jesse Liberty, "Visual C# 2005: A Developer's Notebook:" [^]. It still interests me for its unique graphic design which I consider one of the best examples of technical book design I've seen (I've been involved professionally with technical publishing for many years).

I found it valuable in my early days with .NET for its content illiustrating OOD with WinForms, more in his example code than any "formal" discussion of concepts and principles. Whether it would "work" today, for you, I'm not sure.

You can download the code samples used in the book free from O'Reilly: [^].

There is a "Head First" (publisher O'Reilly) series book on OOAD, but it has received very mixed reviews on Amazon.com; it's code examples are in Java but would easily map to C#. I am not a fan of the "Head First" books: to me the insertion of a bunch of retro/humorous photos and graphics is distracting even if they do kind of "make a point." But, I am not a highly "visual" person.

But, some people, particularly newcomers to programming, really do seem to learn from the Head First books.
