UML 2.0 Pocket Reference

Author: Dan Pilon

Already considered an industry standard, the Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a visual language that enables architects, software designers, and developers to describe, notate and communicate about the systems they design. Seemingly simple on the surface, the UML is a rich and expressive language, with many visual syntactical elements.

It's next to impossible to memorize all aspects of the UML. Just as a writer might require a dictionary to work with the spoken word, so too do UML practitioners require a dictionary of sorts. In this book, you will find information on UML usage, symbols, line-endings, and syntax. This clear, concise book is just what you need to find to a solution quickly.
