SYNOPSIS

UML has rapidly become the world's standard notation for modeling software intensive systems. This is the definitive multimedia course in UML — straight from its inventors, Grady Booch, James Rumbaugh, and Ivar Jacobson! You get the UML Multimedia Cyber Classroom — powerful interactive training with over 200 digital animations of UML diagrams, and 2+ hours of detailed audio explanations of key concepts, PLUS digital video with Grady Booch explaining UML step-by-step! The CD-ROM contains hundreds of programming and interactive exercises — as well as a completely searchable version of the Booch/Rumbaugh/Jacobson best-seller Unified Modeling Language User Guide. You also get the definitive printed reference to UML, The Unified Modeling Language Reference Guide, simply the best tutorial available for learning UML. The book and Cyber Classroom start with a conceptual model of the UML, then progressively apply it to increasingly complex modeling problems across a wide range of application domains. You'll master UML's vocabulary, rules, and idioms, and learn how to apply it to your software systems. Best of all, you'll be learning UML as it was intended to be taught — because its creators will be your personal trainers!
