Introduction to UML
Overview
This is a course for people who already understand what "Object Oriented" means and who realise that if they don't use UML (Unified Modeling Language) then they are simply not up with the play.
UML is the standard notation for describing object-oriented systems from early requirements capture through to deployment of the software on a network of hardware nodes. On this course you will learn what the UML is, what it consists of and how to use it to get better systems.
