We are pleased to announce that the three people closely involved in the development of the VP-UML CASE tool have coauthored a textbook entitled, "Object Oriented Technology: from diagram to code with Visual Paradigm for UML". The book, which is published by McGraw Hill, is now available in bookstores.
This book is written for students and developers who wish to master the essential skills and techniques in applying the UML for software development. The reader will learn object-oriented analysis, design and implementation using appropriate UML models, process, techniques and tools. Accompanying the book is the Community Edition of Visual Paradigm for UML (VP-UML), an award winning CASE tool, which allows the reader to put the theories learned into practice immediately.
The authors propose a novel framework for modeling and analysis called the View Alignment Techniques (VAT) that helps software developers create development methods. The Activity Analysis Approach (A3), which is particularly suited for the development of interaction-intensive systems, is described in detail in this book. These concepts have been well proven, as they were followed closely in the development of the VP-UML CASE tool.
