Building Web Applications with UML (2nd Edition) (The Addison-Wesley Object-Technology Series)

The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is the standard modeling language for software systems. Using UML to model web application design allows designers to easily integrate web applications with other systems modeled in UML. Building Web Applications with UML, Second Edition presents an extension to UML suitable for web application design. Based on the author's own experience developing UML web applications, and incorporating helpful reader feedback from the first edition, the book identifies and addresses modeling problems unique to page based web applications, and offers a clear and straightforward solution. The reader is left with a clear understanding how to deal with the unique problems of modeling the design of page-based web applications, and how to take the model directly into working code.
