Coming soon from Apress!

The Tablet UML Company announces the April 2004 release of UML Applied: A .NET Perspective from Apress.

Martin presents the best lessons from seven years of applying and teaching the Unified Modeling Language®, and then applies them to.NET® development. He demonstrates how a team can easily learn UML with his Five-Step UML process; he uses UML to introduce .NET; and then he uses UML to analyze, architect, design, and code a case study .NET application. He discusses the theory of UML; but mostly he shows the practical application of UML, including:

• Analyzing and modeling requirements
• Modeling the logical and physical architecture
• Designing .NET applications
• Modeling communications
• Modeling databases
• Modeling XML messages
• Organizing your models

Martin gives practical modeling style advice; shows how UML can help in managing, testing, and documenting your development; and he uses UML to explain the Unified Process, eXtreme Programming, and other development processes. Martin discusses practical issues regarding UML tools, from paper-and-pencil to high-end modeling tools. And always, his emphasis is on UML as a means of communication from start to finish.
