Which Way to UML 101? Learning Unified Modeling Language From IBM Rational

Overview Effective communication has always been a key to success for software development teams, and as software systems grow more complex, the need to communicate clearly becomes more acute. As the standard language for specifying, visualizing, constructing, and documenting all the artifacts of a software system, Unified Modeling Language (UML) can help software development teams - as well as other stakeholders - model, understand, and communicate about software systems. This paper describes the variety of offerings at IBM Rational - UML's birthplace - for learning the language.
