Object-Oriented Analysis & Design Using UML

Object-Oriented Analysis & Design Using UML workshop teaches attendees to fully define the scope, requirements/analysis and design of an application using object analysis/design techniques. Moving quickly from concept to technique, multiple workshops iteratively build the models and details needed to exploit the use of object techniques. The key features and notations of the emerging UML (Unified Modeling Language) are covered. The course focuses on building business systems using the practical and intuitive elements of object-oriented methodologies.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Information Technology analysts, developers, software engineers, and business analysts.
