Erisa A good UML tutorial is Visual Modeling with Rational Rose and UML by Terry Quatrani. Publisher: Addison Wesley. You can use Visio or Rational Rose to draw UML diagrams. Most software developers use only the basics, so you won't find it too daunting. -- Bill Fulton -----Original Message----- From: austechwriter-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:austechwriter-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Peter Rule Sent: Thursday, 28 August 2003 1:57 PM To: austechwriter@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: atw: Re: UML Erisa, I know that UML is often taught as part of a software engineering courses/units at various unis etc. Its a pretty BIG subject matter. I did one such course a few years back (at RMIT) and we only really touched the surface. I'm not aware of any training courses per se, but you might try the Aust Computer Society (I imagine if they are available they would be for people with a software development background of some sort and so would assume knowledge as such). If you don't have a pretty thorough knowledge of software engineering principles you'll be pretty lost I imagine, if you do have this background and all you need is basic overview then I really think a good book can help. Try "Systems Analysis and Design: An object oriented approach with UML" by Dennis, Wixom and Tegarden. It places UML in the context of software engineering and is a pretty good start.
