Peter Morville - Ambient Findability

It took some time to understand the phrase “What We Find Changes Who We Become” on the front cover of Peter Morville’s Ambient Findability

Young boys are interested in O’Reilly books due to the animals on the covers.. But are quite disappointed in finding no others inside and almost tear some pages to record their disappointment!

ATTN: Tim O’Reilly – Please publish some more pictures inside too (The pictures in the “Related Titles from O’Reilly” are not enough)

Update: With every new chapter, there could be an animal picture from another book (including summary of that book – cross selling)

If UML might NOT be sufficient for your needs

The Object Primer: Agile Model-Driven Development with UML 2.0(Paperback)

The Object Primer is supposedly (one of) the best book(s) to understand OO and UML

Page 12: Most business applications store data in some sort of database, often a relational one, yet the UML does not include a standard way to model data schemas. The implication is that as long as you are building business software that does not include a suser interface, or a database, then the UML might be sufficient for your needs. Personally, I have never built a system that was so narrowly constrained.”

Thus being the case, why a subtitle “Agile Model-Driven Development with UML 2.0″
