Publisher Description
OCUP 2 Certification Guide: Preparing for the OMG Certified UML 2.5 Professional 2 Foundation Exam both teaches UML® 2.5 and prepares candidates to become certified. UML® (Unified Modeling Language) is the most popular graphical language used by software analysts, designers, and developers to model, visualize, communicate, test, and document systems under development. UML® 2.5 has recently been released, and with it a new certification program for practitioners to enhance their current or future career opportunities. There are three exam levels: Foundation, Intermediate, and Advanced. The exam covered in this book, Foundation, is a prerequisite for the higher levels.
Author Michael Jesse Chonoles is a lead participant in the current OCUP 2 program—not only in writing and reviewing all the questions, but also in designing the goals of the program. This book distills his experience in modeling, mentoring, and training. Because UML® is a sophisticated language, with 13 diagram types, capable of modeling any type of modern software system, it takes users some time to become proficient. This effective resource will explain the material in the Foundation exam and includes many practice questions for the candidate, including sample problems similar to those found in the exam, and detailed explanations of why correct answers are correct and why wrong answers are wrong.
- Written to prepare candidates for the OCUP 2 Foundation level exam while they learn UML®
- Illustrated with UML® diagrams to clarify every concept and technique
- Offers hints for studying and test-taking based on the specific nature and structure of the Foundation Level exam
- Includes practice exam material, sample questions and exercises, warnings, tips, and points to remember throughout
Customer Reviews
If you want to learn UML DO NOT BUY there are better choices….
Ok. I bought this book as a follow up to a course from Lynda.com and if you are looking for a book to help you learn UML, DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK. Besides being dry, full of typos, while at the same time, overtly pedantic, I found that most of the time, I’d have to search for diagrams that had real world examples. It is abosolutely the worse book on this subject I have found. Since trying to read this…I switched to Software Engineering for UML and Systems Ananlysis and Design, both of which brought me up to speed in less time, and presented material which was way better than anything I could find on the internet. I am very disappointed. But don’t let that discourage you from UML. After reading the two books I mentioned, I can’t believe I ever tried to concieve creating my quite hefty program without the use of UML. Also, skip the online courses all together. UML is better read, and used while modeling. And you will NOT get all the nuances required to master this skill from a paid online course. Believe me, I’ve taken many. Good luck on your journeys!!!!!
