The result is UML.Applying UML•UML is just a standard diagramming notation. It is just a tool, not a skill that will guarantee you a good job. Knowing UML helps you communicate with others in creating software, but this course is about Object-Oriented Programming, not how to draw diagrams.Homework Assignments•I want to see some documentation demonstrating that you have planned each assignment in this course. There are several acceptable methodologies—use cases, pseudo code, UML, CRC cards or another. But keep it simple. Time is money, and companies don’t want to spend $1000 planning $100 worth of work.Sample Planning Models for Homework•The lecture on Course Assignments has examples of acceptable documentation for homework.•Another source is the Agile Modeling website.•Note that Use Cases (text) are a preferred method, but Use Case Diagrams are not acceptable.Bibliography•Jia, Xiaoping, Object Oriented Software Development Using Java.
