Before You Start
Welcome to the Unified Modeling Language Tutorial in 7 days. The goal of this course is
to give you the basic knowledge about UML diagrams. It consists of 7 days, 4 days have
theory material, and 3 days are practical using of learned theory. The material is divided
into parts fitting into one day.
Several lessons were introduced every day. After that a list of answered questions are
given to you, and a list of questions and exercises to do by yourself, to strengthen
your understanding and put your newfound knowledge in use.
Day 1 gives you an UML basics, introduces you with GRAPPLE and shortly explaines every
UML diagram.
DAY 2, DAY 3 and DAY 4 presents ways of creating Class diagrams and Use Case diagrams,
State diagrams, Sequence diagrams and Collaboration diagrams, Activity diagrams, Component
diagrams and Deployment diagrams respectively. For all of the diagrams a simple example is
provided, which will guide you trought the process of creating learned diagram.
DAY 5 and DAY 6 dives into practical use of the UML diagram during the process of
modeling a system - the Digital Library. During these two days you'll meet with all the
steps in process of modeling a business sytem. Parts of diagrams given in these lessons
are not developed completely. This gives you a way of completing them and put you into a
process of developing a model for a Digital Library.
In DAY 7 you'll browse the Internet to see what others made about UML
teaching. You'll visit some sites that we recommends you, and you may
search for new sites.
Learning the lessons, you'll meet with several symbols that have different meaning:
 |
|
This symbol appears in places where new therm or an UML definition
is introduced. Text that follows is colored with aquamarine color. |
 |
|
This icon highlights something which is very important and you must
make attention to these paragraphs. Text that appear after this symbol is dark red and
bold. |
 |
|
An example icon. After this one an example is given to you. |
 |
|
After almost every lesson, this symbol stands for most important
things that you have learned in that lesson. |
 |
|
When something may be very dificult or complex for solution, this
icon appears. If you get the solution for the given problem be sure that you've a strong
knowledge of that area. |
 |
|
This is symbol for the answer. It appear in the Questions &
Answers parts of the day. |
