Excerpts

UML for Mere Mortals UML for Mere Mortals Preface Over the past 10+ years, we have been traveling the world speaking to people about modeling software, databases, businesses, and systems. This has allowed us the great pleasure of meeting thousands of people on projects, at seminars, trade shows, corporate, and government site visits. But the best part is, we have had the opportunity to learn from each and every one of them. As we and our colleagues have covered the globe through these years, many of the questions we receive are from people who just want to understand what this "UML thing" is all about and why they should bother to learn it or support it within their organization. In this book, we will return the favor by answering many of the questions we have received over these years about modeling, and specifically modeling with the Unified Modeling Language (UML).
