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.
