Greetings!

At the University of Florida we are presenting: "Introduction to
Object-Oriented Modeling and Unified Modeling Language (UML) Specialized
Training for the Computer Programming Professional"  to be held March 12 &
13, 2003 in Gainesville, Florida. The course will be held on the University
of Florida campus, and all details of the program can be found in the course
web site located at: <http://conference.ifas.ufl.edu/UML
<http://conference.ifas.ufl.edu/UML> >

Course Description
This exclusive training program will teach participants the basic concepts
of the object-oriented paradigm using the Unified Modeling Language (UML).
Students will be introduced to concepts such as abstraction, polymorphism
and encapsulation, and will learn how to use these concepts in
object-oriented software development. Furthermore, students will receive
hands-on training using UML software, and several diagrams will be built to
demonstrate the capabilities of UML for software development. This short
course will help attendees understand what classes, attributes and methods
are, and how they can be used to build software. The course will introduce
the basics of the UML and demonstrate how to build several UML diagrams
required for software development.
