Good books on UML / data modeling theories for web applications?

Question

Trying to improve my understanding of this area of ​​application design / architecture / development and searching for any suggestions in this area. I have read some other posts and have a list of development theory books, but would like to make a list for more architecture-based books that relate to web applications. Thanks!

Answer 1

The first thing that tells me is Martin Fowler’s enterprise application architecture patterns.

http://books.google.ca/books?id=FyWZt5DdvFkC&dq=patterns+of+enterprise+application+architecture&printsec=frontcover&source=bn&hl=en&ei=jr9XS6H-J4KY8Abs=EXJ&&re&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&= topeid_review & f = false

Adding

Heck! Speaking on Martin Fowler's website, I found HTML Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Web Applications in my signature series ...

It looks pretty interesting. His material focuses on moving away from "soup-soup, presentation marking, and state-preserving applications" toward "XHTML, CSS, and REST."

I haven’t read it, but it looks promising.

Answer 2

I have on my shelf the good old "Creating Web UML Applications", but yes, it costs only 5 bucks, for which you can order it from Amazon.

http://www.amazon.com/Building-Web-Applications-UML-2nd/dp/0201730383/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1264090325&sr=8-1

Not that the book is bad, but IMHO UML for web applications does not make sense.
