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. Who Should Attend? Participants should be interested in or actively involved in using the Object-Oriented Modeling and Unified Modeling Language (UML) for program design. Those employed in the following occupations would greatly benefit by participating in this course: Agricultural Engineers / Agronomists / Extension Agents / IT managers / Programmers / Project Managers / Soil Scientists / Foresters Land Use Planners / Hydrologists / Academicians and Faculty Members / Client-server and web developers / Data modelers Others seeking training in Object-Oriented Modeling and the Unified Modeling Language TRAINING SITE This course will be held on campus in the University of Florida's Distance Education Learning Center located on the first floor of McCarty Hall D, Room #G001. 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> > We thank you in advance for your support and assistance with promoting the "Introduction to Object-Oriented Modeling and Unified Modeling Language (UML) Specialized Training for the Computer Programming Professional."
