ICONIX Announces "Mastering UML with Rational Rose�" CD-ROM Tutorial 


ICONIX Software Engineering announces a new addition to it's 
fast-growing family of Object-Oriented Computer-Based Training 
courseware. The new course extends the popular "Unified Object Modeling 
Approach" tutorial with a third volume, focused exclusively on 
educating software professionals in the new Unified Modeling Language 
(UML). 

Available separately, or included as Volume 3 at no extra charge with 
purchases of "A Unified Object Modeling Approach", "Mastering UML with 
Rational Rose" provides single-click access to multimedia tutorials on 
all aspects of the UML, including stereotypes to support the Objectory 
Process.  The CD-ROM uses narrated movies of four example projects, 
using the Rational Rose visual modeling tool to illustrate the new UML 
notation. The example projects, adapted from the original ICONIX 
Unified Object Modeling tutorial, are drawn from a wide range of 
industry sectors that are successfully applying unified object modeling 
to real-world, mission critical projects. Examples include:


Portfolio Management (Financial)
Hospital Information System (Health Care) 
Video on Demand (Telecommunications)
Vehicle Navigation (Transportation)


"We've found that the ICONIX process tutorials are phenomenally 
critical to the way we develop our applications," stated John Gilman, 
Director of Product Development for CyberPlus, a developer of 
Intranet-based Electronic Medical Record Systems.  "These tutorials 
have helped us to make more effective use of Rational Rose to do our 
software architecture and design.  The "Unified Object Modeling 
Approach" CD is rich in detailed information content, and effectively 
transfers relevant real-world experience to the viewer.  In our case, 
having repeat access to the Hospital Information System example was 
particularly important."

"I originally started using ICONIX multimedia training several years 
ago, and have found they are by far the best available," Gilman 
continued.  "The "Object Methodology Overview" CD totally changed the 
way I approach development, exposing me to the power of the synergy 
between Jacobson, Rumbaugh and Booch methods long before even the 
authors were aware of it."

"Our history with integrating the Booch, Rumbaugh, and Jacobson methods 
into a unified approach dates back to 1993" stated ICONIX President 
Doug Rosenberg. "The experience we've gained in delivering training in 
Unified Object Modeling both in on-site workshops and using multimedia 
over the past few years has put us in a unique position to quickly 
deliver this much-needed knowledge to all the people who need to learn 
the UML.  Since Rational has been leading the effort to unify object 
methods and there are thousands of Rose customers who need to learn 
UML,  and it made perfect sense to present the examples using Rose. Of 
course, we've also included the example models on the CD-ROM."

"Mastering UML with Rational Rose" will be available from ICONIX in 
early May at a price of only $295.   However, advance purchase beta 
versions (replaceable in May with a finished copy)  are available for 
immediate shipping.   Sample screens previewing the content of the new 
tutorial may be viewed on-line 
(http://www.iconixsw.com/Spec_Sheets/Uml2.html) or downloaded as Adobe 
Acrobat files. 

Located in Santa Monica, California, ICONIX Software Engineering is the 
industry leader in applying multimedia technology to the delivery 
computer-based training for object technology. Other titles available 
from ICONIX include "An Object Methodology Overview," the fastest way 
to get acquainted with OOAD methods, and "An Interactive Briefing on 
Object Technology," a guided tour of several dozen internet sites 
featuring cutting-edge object technology.
