Description

Unified Modeling Language Fundamentals teaches the software development team member most fundamental aspects of the Unified Modeling Language (UML 2.0). The course begins with a discussion of why models are useful and an introduction to the object-oriented principles of abstraction, encapsulation, modularity, and hierarchy. Then the course provides an overview and examples of a unified modeling approach for business, requirements, and software models. The course continues with a discussion of semantics and notation of basic UML elements including objects, classes, packages, stereotypes, and comments. Attributes and operations of classes are discussed along with the most-often used relationships between classes (associations, dependencies, generalizations, and realizations). The course finishes with exercises in how to apply the most common UML behavioral and structural diagrams: communication diagrams, sequence diagrams, and class diagrams.
