Introduction to UML for Java Developers
| Duration: |
3 days |
| Type: |
intermediate |
Description
This course teaches delegates how to use the UML to design Java and JEE Applications.
In contrast to a generic UML course all examples and exercises are based around the needs of Java developers.
All of the UML diagrams are introduced during the course, including the new features of UML 2.0.
In addition to designing standard JSE / JEE systems the course also covers modeling applications which use
frameworks such as JSF, Spring and Hibernate.
Prerequisites
This course is designed for experienced Java programmers who have a good understand of the fundamentals of JEE development
