In The Unified Modeling Language User Guide, the original developers of the UML - Grady Booch, James Rumbaugh, and Ivar Jacobson - provide a tutorial to the core aspects of the language in a two-color format designed to facilitate learning. Starting with a conceptual model of the UML, the book progressively applies the UML to a series of increasingly complex modeling problems across a variety of application domains. This example-driven approach helps readers quickly understand and apply the UML.
For more advanced developers, the book includes a learning track focused on applying the UML to advanced modeling problems.
Grady Booch (born February 27, 1955) is an American software engineer, best known for developing the Unified Modeling Language (UML) with Ivar Jacobson and James Rumbaugh. He is recognized internationally for his innovative work in software architecture, software engineering, and collaborative development environments.
