Summary
"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."
If 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. The 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: Capturing your system's requirements in your model to
help you ensure that your designs meet your users'
needs Modeling the parts of your system and their
relationships Modeling how the parts of your system work together to
meet your system's requirements Modeling how your system moves into the real world,
capturing how your system will be deployed Engaging 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. Russ 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. **
