In this book you will learn the UML (Unified Modeling Language) fundamentals and how to structure software projects using UML diagrams, regardless of project dimension to be built. Essentially, you will learn to deal with the main UML diagrams, such as use case diagrams, class diagrams, sequence diagrams, activity diagrams, state machine diagrams, and many others.

Like constructing a house or building, it is essential to create models and carry out detailed planning, in order to estimate time, labor, materials and costs. The process of developing software is much the same, as it too involves teams, tools, time, costs and other variables.
UML is widely used in software engineering, system analysis and other IT areas to visualize, specify, build and document software artifacts, as well, providing means to assist in the requirements gathering process from the start to finish.

UML is a standard language that is widely accepted by the job market. The majority of job offers for analysts, programmers, architects, software engineers, among others, require UML skills.
