Learning UML 2.0
"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.

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.
