Object-Orieneted Systems Analysis and Design using UML

I'm currently reading the mentioned book from Simon Bennett, Steve McRobb, and Ray Farmer. Less than half of it already read, but I can say with confidence that the book is very useful, high-quality, with thorough and systematic approach.
I remembered that personally I too often neglected the software design phase and rushed to write a code, which led to far-worse-than-they-may-be solutions. I did not deal with large-scale systems as described in this book, all my projects were much smaller, but they definitely might (and should) be much better. I hope that even if I will not apply the exact techniques from this book, the systematic approach to software development process described by authors, will remind me about necessity to assign more time for planning and design when the next project will start.
