Unified Modeling Language (UML)

Today, information-technology business analysts are often working on object-oriented (OO), Unified Modeling Language (UML) projects, yet they have a long way to go to exploit the technology beyond the adoption of use cases (just one part of the UML).

UML Process is a defined process for developing software systems using object technology. The purpose of this document is to define the UML Process at a level that is suitable for practitioners who have had no prior exposure to a similar process.

This book is a lucid and practical introduction to thinking and designing with objects and creating systems that are well crafted, robust, and maintainable.

Essential skills for first-time programmers! This easy-to-use book explains the fundamentals of Unified Modeling Language (UML). You'll learn to read, draw, and use this visual modeling language to create clear and effective blueprints for software development projects. The modular approach of this series--including drills, sample projects, and mastery checks--makes it easy to learn to use this powerful programming language at your own pace.

This fourth edition of Database Design is a significant update to the content of the book and also to its design (forthcoming). Most of the content has been updated and the work to do so is ongoing. More detailedinformation on the changes will continue to be posted below throughout the process.

The Unified Modeling Language has become the industry standard for the expression of software designs. The Java programming language continues to grow in popularity as the language of choice for the serious application developer.
