The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is the industry-standard notation for object-oriented modeling. UML consists of a number of diagrams to help understand, visualize, communicate and specify various aspects of requirements and design decisions to fulfill these requirements.

Program Objectives:- This two-day program introduces the participants to UML modeling. It covers the basic principles of using UML for system analysis and design. With the help of small case studies and examples, it provides practical insight into the important UML diagrams.

The focus of this program is UML 2.0 and not the principles of object-oriented analysis and design. If you are looking for an in-depth training program on object-oriented analysis and design, and the principles of good object-oriented design, etc., then you should consider our four-day training program called "Object-Oriented Analysis and Design" (OOAD).

The difference between learning OOAD and learning UML is like the difference between learning music and learning music notation. Mastering music notation does not make one a master musician. Similarly, mastering UML does not make one a master object-oriented designer. This course just teaches you UML 2.0.

Audience:- This course is suitable for programmers, designers, and project managers who are involved in a software project involving programming in any object-oriented language, and modeling using UML. The participants should have familiarity with core object-oriented concepts, and have some background in programming in any object-oriented programming language.

Design Patterns is an area of system design that addresses common, recurring design problems in object-oriented design, and provides proven solutions to them. This four day program introduces the participants to the area of design patterns for object-oriented design.

Program Objectives:- At the end of the training program, the participants would have the following skills:
• understand the principles behind design patterns
• understand the applicability of various patterns in practical situations
• understand the trade-offs involved in various design alternatives based on design patterns

Audience:- This program is aimed at architects, designers and developers, involved in object-oriented system design.
