 Description
"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."
--Richard Mark Soley, Chairman and CEO, OMG
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. Additional information including exercises can be found at
www.learninguml2.com.
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.
