System developers have used modeling languages for decades to specify, visualize, construct, and document systems. The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is one of those languages. UML makes it possible for team members to collaborate by providing a common language that applies to a multitude of different systems. Essentially, it enables you to communicate solutions in a consistent, tool-supported language.Today, UML has become the standard method for modeling software systems, which means you''re probably confronting this rich and expressive language more than ever before. And even though you may not write UML diagrams yourself, you''ll still need to interpret diagrams written by others.UML 2.0 in a Nutshell from O''Reilly feels your pain. It''s been crafted for professionals like you who must read, create, and understand system artifacts expressed using UML. Furthermore, it''s been fully revised to cover version 2.0 of the language.This comprehensive new edition not only provides a quick-reference to all UML 2.0 diagram types, it also explains key concepts in a way that appeals to readers already familiar with UML or object-oriented programming concepts.Topics include:

Globe-trotting travelers have long resorted to handy, pocket-size dictionaries as an aid to communicating across the language barrier. Dan Pilone''s UML 2.0 Pocket Reference is just such an aid for on-the-go developers who need to converse in the Unified Modeling Language (UML). Use this book to decipher the many UML diagrams you''ll encounter on the path to delivering a modern software system.

Updated to cover the very latest in UML, you''ll find coverage of the following UML 2.0 diagram types:

Also new in this edition is coverage of UML''s Object Constraint Language (OCL). Using OCL, you can specify more narrowly the functionality described in a given diagram by recording limits that are the result of business rules and other factors.

The UML 2.0 Pocket Reference travels well to meetings and fits nicely into your laptop bag. It''s near impossible to memorize all aspects of UML, and with this book along, you won''t have to.

Having trouble understanding algebra? Do algebraic concepts, equations, and logic just make your head spin? We have great news: Head First Algebra is designed for you. Full of engaging stories and practical, real-world explanations, this book will help you learn everything from natural numbers and exponents to solving systems of equations and graphing polynomials.Along the way, you''ll go beyond solving hundreds of repetitive problems, and actually use what you learn to make real-life decisions. Does it make sense to buy two years of insurance on a car that depreciates as soon as you drive it off the lot? Can you really afford an XBox 360 and a new iPhone? Learn how to put algebra to work for you, and nail your class exams along the way.Your time is way too valuable to waste struggling with new concepts. Using the latest research in cognitive science and learning theory to craft a multi-sensory learning experience, Head First Algebra uses a visually rich format specifically designed to take advantage of the way your brain really works.

Even the best developers have seen well-intentioned software projects fail -- often because the customer kept changing requirements, and end users didn''t know how to use the software you developed. Instead of surrendering to these common problems, let Head First Software Development guide you through the best practices of software development. Before you know it, those failed projects will be a thing of the past.With its unique visually rich format, this book pulls together the hard lessons learned by expert software developers over the years. You''ll gain essential information about each step of the software development lifecycle -- requirements, design, coding, testing, implementing, and maintenance -- and understand why and how different development processes work.This book is for you if you are:
