Abstract: This seminar teaches you how to apply the Unified Modeling Language (UML) to software designs. Using several small design projects, students will explore the benefits of UML in modeling systems. Each participant will learn the major models in UML, including use cases, activity diagrams, class diagrams, state diagrams, and interaction diagrams (sequence and collaboration). The course also includes an overview of design patterns as they apply to the modeling of object-oriented software. A discussion of the new UML 2.0 features will also be presented.

Intended Audience: This seminar is intended for software engineers, systems analysts, program managers and user support personnel who wish to apply UML to their designs. A working knowledge of high-level language concepts (C/C++, Java, C#, etc.) is helpful but not mandatory.

Seminar Instructor: Paul L. Anderson (http://www.asgteach.com), MSEE, has been teaching technical training courses for over 15 years. He is a founding member of the Anderson Software Group, a corporation specializing in C/C++, Java, Perl, Linux, and Object Oriented Design training courses. He is the author of four programming textbooks in the subjects of UNIX, C, C++, and Java. He has taught courses to thousands of developers in private industry and government. Mr. Anderson has also contributed articles to Dr. Dobb's Journal on Software Tools, UNIX World, C++ Journal, and conducted tutorials at past UNIX Uniforum conferences.
