Introduction to UML

Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a standardized modeling language consisting of an integrated set of diagrams, developed to help system and software developers for specifying, visualizing, constructing, and documenting the artifacts of software systems.

Why UML?

• Visualize: Communicate structure and behavior.
• Specifying: Detailed design work.
• Documenting: Maintaining a record of decisions.

What we will cover

In this course, we will dive deep into:

• Structural Modeling: Class, Component, and Deployment Diagrams.
• Behavioral Modeling: Use Case, Sequence, Activity, and State Machine Diagrams.
• Design Decisions: How to choose between attributes and entities, and how to map models to code.

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to architect complex systems with clarity and precision.
