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.
