UML: UML Modelling and Design Complete Course for Beginners

UML: UML Modelling and Design Complete Course for Beginners

Comprehensive Course Description

UML (Unified Modeling Language), a standardized modeling language, is a powerful tool. This general purpose language consists of a unified set of diagrams. However, you must first understand that UML isn't a programming language. Rather, it's a visual language developed to help software and system developers for specifying, visualizing, creating, and documenting the objects of software systems, as well as for non-software systems and business modeling.

We need UML because complex applications are dependent on the collaboration and planning of various teams. But the problem is businesspeople don't understand code. In this context, having a clear way of communication amongst team members is crucial. Here's where UML helps non-programmers to quickly understand the essential requirements, processes, and functionalities of the system. UML represents a selection of best engineering practices. These practices have proven to be highly successful in modeling huge and complex systems.

UML is a vital component of developing object-oriented software. In fact, UML is important for the entire software development process. UML expresses the design of software projects using mostly graphical notations. Project teams can communicate, analyze potential designs, and confirm the software's architectural design using UML.

The design of this course is in the same pattern. You start with a brief introduction and overview of UML before proceeding to its importance and applications. Since UML is incomplete without a visualization tool, we have used tools along with their practical explanation to help you become familiar with hands-on UML concepts. The main aim is to build your proficiency so that you can confidently create a UML diagram for software modeling and design.

Visual Paradigm is used extensively throughout this course. This tool covers the main project, the case study, and a variety of mini projects too. Every single diagram is live. The purpose is to depict the exact environment you’ll face in a real-world workplace. The discussed tips also focus on overcoming various real-world challenges. Moreover, the course is replete with quizzes and exercises to keep you engaged and help you master complex analytical concepts.

In addition, the case studies, mini-projects, system requirement documents, and practical elaboration of each diagram in the mini-projects will strengthen your understanding of software design concepts. You'll find this course immensely helpful if you are a university student wanting to make your project or working on your thesis, or you have got an assignment on software engineering, or you are seeking a new role in system modeling and design domain. You can also use the guidelines in this course to work as a freelancer and make various UML modeling diagrams. In case you are stuck anywhere, we are here to guide you not only after course enrolment but also after course completion.

This course does not end here. We address career development in the concluding section to prepare you for interviews in any UML role. Also, you are introduced to the market trends so that you are fully prepared to go to the workplace with essential UML concepts and practice them with confidence and encouragement. Lastly, a UML glossary that summarizes all the important terms in one document is included. On the whole, this MUST take course for software engineers and common users alike will sharpen your skills and enhance your career.

How Is This Course Different?

This Learning by Doing course follows a unique format: Every theoretical explanation is accompanied by practical implementation.

Most online courses are overloaded with examples without any implementation. Explanation of theoretical concepts is another missing element. But this course offers you a true balance between theory and practice. Since the focus is to teach UML to a beginner, we have tried our best to simplify things and implement everything right from the first section.

The course ‘UML Modeling and Design’ reflects real-world workplace skills. You will become proficient in the fundamental concepts and methodologies of UML.

The course is:

• Easy to follow.

• Expressive.

• Thorough.

• Practical with live working on UML Tools.

• Self-explanatory and includes the latest developments in this field.

You will be motivated to continue your learning journey as you understand the detailed compilation of all the elementary concepts. You will make quick progress as a result. In this course, you will also experience much more than the topics covered. At the end of each topic, you will revise what you have learned by working on the assigned Homework/tasks/activities/quizzes (solutions are also provided). We follow this learning by doing methodology to evaluate and speed up your learning based on the concepts already covered and methods you have learned. These activities are aimed at getting you up and running with UML implementations.

The course material is meticulous with high-quality video content, assessment questions, informative handouts, and detailed course notes. Our friendly team will also quickly answer any course-related queries.

The course tutorials are divided into around 200 short videos. You’ll learn the essential concepts and methodologies of UML Modeling and Design along with practical implementation. The runtime of the HD videos is approximately 10 hours.

Why Should You Learn UML Modeling and Design?

UML is short for Unified Modeling Language (UML). You can use the UML language to visualize, elaborate, construct, and document products in software-intensive systems. Artifact refers to an assortment of products produced during software development, such as models, source code, test cases, etc. UML modeling can achieve the following objectives:

· Use models to better understand problems.

· The use of models can enhance communication amongst team members.

· Use models to detect errors or omissions earlier.

· Design results can be obtained by using models.

· The model provides the basis for the final code.
