Overview

The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is the industry standard notation for describing object-oriented systems. It can be used as a medium for describing existing systems as well as for communicating the requirements and structure of new ones. The notation includes a number of diagram types that can be applied from analysis, through design and to system deployment. Although independent of development lifecycle, UML is intended to support iterative and incremental, and architecture-centric development.

The Essential UML course presents analysis and design concepts structured around the notation of UML. It develops the concepts and introduces the notation through lectures, discussion, individual exercises and a team-based case study.
