UML Applied: A .NET Perspective

UML Applied: A .NET Perspective is the first book to examine the two worlds of Unified Modeling Language (UML) and .NET concurrently. The core of this book is a set of proven, hands-on, team-oriented exercises that will have the reader solving real-world problems with UML faster—often in under a day—than when using any other approach. Martin L. Shoemaker also demonstrates how to use Rational XDE for effective model-driven development.

From the author:

“In teaching UML to my students, nothing has been as effective as ‘Five-Step UML’, a process I devised by stripping away, one piece at a time, everything that got in the way of learning UML. Eventually, I was left with five simple, clear steps that show the students why and how to use UML, by having them start the class by actually solving problems with UML. After they learn the why and the how, they’re motivated to learn the what: the details of the UML notation. And they have a lot of fun in the process. Now I’m using Five-Step UML to teach .NET analysis and design in a larger framework I call Model-Driven Development: UML models as the central artifacts of the development process, with other artifacts (code, tests, documents, even estimates and schedules) all deriving from the models. With this book, I’ve collected my Five-Step UML and Model-Driven Development thoughts into one complete package. I also give a UML perspective of the .NET Common Language Runtime and the .NET Framework, providing a graphical overview that complements the on-line help.”

《UML Applied: A .NET Perspective》是第一本同時探討統一建模語言（UML）和.NET的書籍。本書的核心是一系列經過驗證的、實踐導向的團隊練習，讀者可以通過這些練習在更短的時間內（通常不到一天）解決現實世界的問題，比使用其他方法更快。Martin L. Shoemaker還演示了如何使用Rational XDE進行有效的模型驅動開發。

作者說：“在教授UML給我的學生時，沒有什麼比‘五步UML’更有效了。這是一個我通過逐步去除妨礙學習UML的一切因素而設計的過程。最終，我得到了五個簡單明確的步驟，讓學生們能夠開始使用UML解決問題，並理解為什麼和如何使用UML。在他們了解了為什麼和如何之後，他們就會有動力去學習UML的細節。這個過程也非常有趣。現在，我正在使用五步UML來教授.NET分析和設計，並將其放在一個更大的框架中，稱為模型驅動開發：UML模型作為開發過程的核心產物，其他產物（代碼、測試、文檔、甚至估算和進度）都源於這些模型。通過這本書，我將我的五步UML和模型驅動開發的思想整合成一個完整的套件。我還提供了對.NET公共語言運行時和.NET框架的UML視角，提供了一個圖形概述，與在線幫助相輔相成。”
