Unified Modelling
Language

UML Diagrams
The OMG specification states:
(Object Management Group)

"The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a graphical

language for visualizing, specifying, constructing, and
documenting the artifacts of a software-intensive
system.
The UML offers a standard way to write a system's
blueprints, including conceptual things such as
business processes and system functions as well as
concrete things such as programming language
statements, database schemas, and reusable software
components."

Diagrams, each used in a certain situation ,
and some of them are complex.
Fortunately, you only have to learn ONE of
them in this module ...the CLASS DIAGRAM
