Features: UML modeling has become deeply rooted, but many readers struggle to find good UML modeling tools and thus hesitate to proceed. This book is a summary of the author's years of experience using Visio and is highly valuable for beginners. Visio is not just a powerful and user-friendly drawing tool; it is also an excellent UML modeling tool. This book, combined with Visio's new 2002 version, introduces the following content:
- An introduction to UML-related theories, with a focus on UML model diagrams;
- Basic methods and techniques for drawing in Visio;
- Drawing use case diagrams, static structure diagrams, package diagrams, activity diagrams, state diagrams, sequence diagrams, collaboration diagrams, component diagrams, and deployment diagrams with Visio.
When introducing each model diagram, its concepts, creation steps, and creation examples are detailed.
At the end, the book covers how to combine Visio, UML, and .NET to develop enterprise-level applications, including how to implement reverse engineering of a Visual Studio .NET project to generate UML static model structures, and how to map UML models to code frameworks using Visio.
This book avoids repetitive and tedious theoretical explanations, instead relying on graphics and examples to illustrate and analyze complex issues. It is suitable for beginners learning Visio modeling and can also serve as a teaching material for universities, colleges, or social training courses.
