Since its original introduction in 1997, the Unified Modeling Language has revolutionized software development. Whether you are looking to use UML as a blueprint language, a sketch tool or as a programming language, this book gives you the need to know information on how to apply UML to your project.
"Since its original introduction in 1997, the Unified Modeling Language has revolutionized software development. Every integrated software development environment in the world--open-source, standards-based, and proprietary--now supports UML and, more importantly, the model-driven approach to software development. This makes learning the newest UML standard, UML 2.0, critical for all software developers--and there isn't a better choice than this clear, step-by-step guide to learning the language."n--Richard Mark Soley, Chairman and CEO, OMGnnIf you're like most software developers, you're building systems that are increasingly complex. Whether you're creating a desktop application or an enterprise system, complexity is the big hairy monster you must manage.nnThe Unified Modeling Language (UML) helps you manage this complexity. Whether you're looking to use UML as a blueprint language, a sketch tool, or as a programming language, this book will give you the need-to-know information on how to apply UML to your project. While there are plenty of books available that describe UML, Learning UML 2.0 will show you how to use it. Topics covered include:nnCapturing your system's requirements in your model to help you ensure that your designs meet your users' needsnnModeling the parts of your system and their relationshipsnnModeling how the parts of your system work together to meet your system's requirementsnnModeling how your system moves into the real world, capturing how your system will be deployednnEngaging and accessible, this book shows you how to use UML to craft and communicate your project's design. Russ Miles and Kim Hamilton have written a pragmatic introduction to UML based on hard-earned practice, not theory. Regardless of the software process or methodology you use, this book is the one source you need to get up and running with UML 2.0.nnRuss Miles is a software engineer for General Dynamics UK, where he works with Java and Distributed Systems, although his passion at the moment is Aspect Orientation and, in particular, AspectJ. Kim Hamilton is a senior software engineer at Northrop Grumman, where she's designed and implemented a variety of systems including web applications and distributed systems, with frequent detours into algorithms development.
"Learning UML 2.0 is a great book if you need to learn or understand UML - keeping your documentation in a standard format is great should you ever want to cooperate with another company or want to sell your business. The book can be used as both a reference and a learning tutorial [...]." - TamsPalm Blog, Dezember 2006
