With this course, you will learn the industry standard modeling language and be able to apply them to your next software
What’s in a Modeling Language? A modeling language can be made up of pseudo-code, actual code, pictures, diagrams, or long passages of description. In fact, it’s pretty much anything that helps you describe your system. The elements that make up a modeling language are called its notation. The Unified Modeling Language (UML) makes it easier for developers and designers to specify, visualize, and document the requirement of a software system. This course will show you how to use the concepts of UML in the software development process. UML is quite a precise language, so you might expect it to have prescriptive rules. But UML is often considered to be the software equivalent of the blueprints in other engineering disciplines, and these blueprints are not prescriptive notations. Modeling is a proven and well-accepted engineering technique. We build architectural models of houses and high rises to help their users visualize the final product. We may even build mathematical models to analyze the effects of winds or earthquakes on our buildings. Many of the people who are involved in the ongoing development of the UML are interested primarily in the meta-model, particularly as this is important to the usage of the UML and a programming language. Notational issues often run second place, which is important to bear in mind if you ever try to get familiar with the standards documents themselves.
What you’ll learn
- What the UML is and what it is not.
- Why the UML is relevant to the process of developing software-intensive systems.
- Master the UML vocabulary, rules, and idioms of the UML.
- Learn how to “speak” the Unified Modeling Language effectively.
- Understand how to apply the UML to solve a number of common modeling problems.
