Media Reviews

From the reviews:

As the first existing textbook on software visualization, Diehl has managed to put together a good overview of this interesting field.
Diehl steers the reader through different techniques as a good tourist guide would do: pointing out the most significant aspects, while leaving out many details that might be of partial interest for his intended audience.
(Fernando Berzal, Computing Reviews, December 2007)

...this is a book with clear explanations that is well structured and easy to read, yet profound enough for a second, more thorough reading. (Jose Lloret, Computing Reviews, October 2007)
