 Description
System developers have used modeling languages
for decades to specify, visualize, construct, and document systems. The
Unified Modeling Language (UML) is one of those languages. UML makes it
possible for team members to collaborate by providing a common language
that applies to a multitude of different systems.
Essentially, it
enables you to communicate solutions in a consistent, tool-supported
language. Today, UML has become the standard method for modeling
software systems, which means you're probably confronting this rich and
expressive language more than ever before. And even though you may not
write UML diagrams yourself, you'll still need to interpret diagrams
written by others. UML 2.0 in a Nutshell
from O'Reilly feels your pain. It's been crafted for professionals like
you who must read, create, and understand system artifacts expressed
using UML. Furthermore, it's been fully revised to cover version 2.0 of
the language. This comprehensive new edition not only provides a
quick-reference to all UML 2.0 diagram types, it also explains key
concepts in a way that appeals to readers already familiar with UML or
object-oriented programming concepts. Topics include:
- The role and value of UML in projects
- The object-oriented paradigm and its relation to the UML
- An integrated approach to UML diagrams
- Class and Object, Use Case, Sequence, Collaboration, Statechart, Activity, Component, and Deployment Diagrams
- Extension Mechanisms
- The Object Constraint Language (OCL)
If you're new to UML, a tutorial with realistic examples has even been
included to help you quickly familiarize yourself with the system.
