      Introduction to the Unified Modelling Language

      Key point -- engineers draw their devices and circuits before they have them built. Here [ ../EngineersSketchBookP49.gif ] is a page from a book of mechanical movements -- Appliances, Devices, Contrivances, &c., &c. by Thomas Walter Barber 1890.

      For more follow links in this page [Barber90] (bibliography).

      The UML is designed to allow software developers notations that do the same thing as Engineering Drawing does for older forms of engineering.

      Study UML Handout

      Review Questions

      At the end of the reading. Do as many as you can and then hand in one question and answer.

      Note on UML in the text

      The book has a whole chapter 23 on the UML and object-oriented design. It goes way beyond what we need in CS201 and has some errors. Please ignore.

      Example of a library of Classes

      [ ccc.html ]

      Exercise: how do you summarise all this into a simple diagram?

      Exercises on the UML

      Draw a class given the C++ code... [ magic.h ]

      Given the UML class diagram of a single class... write the declaration in C++.
