Description The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a third generation method for specifying, visualizing, and documenting an object-oriented system
under development. It unifies the three leading object-oriented methods and others to serve as the basis for a common, stable, and expressive
object-oriented development notation. As the complexity of software applications increases, so does the developer's need to design and
analyze applications before developing them. This practical introduction to UML provides software developers with an overview of this
powerful new design notation, and teaches Java programmers to analyse and design object-oriented applications using the UML notation.
