"Since its original introduction in 1997, the Unified Modeling Language has revolutionized software development. Every integrated software development environment in the world--open-source, standards-based, and proprietary--now supports UML and, more importantly, the model-driven approach to software development. This makes learning the newest UML standard, UML 2.0, critical for all software developers--and there isn't a better choice than this clear, step-by-step guide to learning the language."
--Richard Mark Soley, Chairman and CEO, OMG

If you're like most software developers, you're building systems that are increasingly complex. Whether you're creating a desktop application or an enterprise system, complexity is the big hairy monster you must manage.



The Unified Modeling Language (UML) helps you manage this complexity. Whether you're looking to use UML as a blueprint language, a sketch tool, or as a programming language, this book will give you the need-to-know information on how to apply UML to your project. While there are plenty of books available that describe UML, Learning UML 2.0 will show you how to use it. Topics covered include:



  • Capturing your system's requirements in your model to help you ensure that your designs meet your users' needs


  • Modeling the parts of your system and their relationships


  • Modeling how the parts of your system work together to meet your system's requirements


  • Modeling how your system moves into the real world, capturing how your system will be deployed


Engaging and accessible, this book shows you how to use UML to craft and communicate your project's design. Russ Miles and Kim Hamilton have written a pragmatic introduction to UML based on hard-earned practice, not theory. Regardless of the software process or methodology you use, this book is the one source you need to get up and running with UML 2.0. Additional information including exercises can be found at www.learninguml2.com.



Russ Miles is a software engineer for General Dynamics UK, where he works with Java and Distributed Systems, although his passion at the moment is Aspect Orientation and, in particular, AspectJ. Kim Hamilton is a senior software engineer at Northrop Grumman, where she's designed and implemented a variety of systems including web applications and distributed systems, with frequent detours into algorithms development.

I love this comforter! It is so silky soft, feels so nice to sleep under.
Size: King(103“*90”), Color: Luxury Grey, Size: King(103“*90”), Color: Luxury Grey
I absolutely love this comforter! It is super lightweight and has a very silky soft shell on both sides. It feels so good to sleep under! Ever since I have been using it, I haven't been waking up in sweat covered sheets. It constantly has a cool feel to it 24/7. It is large enough that it fits my king size bed pretty good. It doesn't hang far over the edges, but it fits. It is dual sided, so you can have a light gray look on one side and a dark gray look on the other side, depending on what fits your decor better. I definitely recommend getting if you are on the lookout for a cooling comforter, especially because of the silky soft feel.

It really cools - Extremely soft - Not too heavy
Size: Queen (90" * 90"), Color: Luxury Grey, Size: Queen (90" * 90"), Color: Luxury Grey
This comforter arrived packaged very well from the manufacturer. It arrived sealed in plastic inside a box. The color and appearance of the comforter received looks like what was shown in the listing. This comforter is extremely soft. It feels very cool to the touch. It has a great cooling effect. It is also not too heavy. A lot of cooling bedding products like this feel heavy. While this does have some weight it is not too much. It is easy to move around. The comforter is easy to refresh and cool off again after extended use. I just uncovered myself, lifted and moved the comforter around a little, then covered back up. This made it feel cooler again. I am very happy with this comforter so far. I like the color and design. I really like feeling cool when falling asleep. This will be great when the temperatures start going up. I will update this review later if anything changes after washing a few more times and longer use. I think this will be a good comforter for most hot sleepers who like to cover up all year.

Feels seriously amazing!
Size: Twin(90“ * 67”), Color: Luxury Grey
This is my second cooling comforter from this brand and this one is just as amazing as the first. It’s silky soft and makes a significant temperature difference. It’s like magic; you don’t need to do anything special to cool it before bed. If you do want extra coolness, you can place it in front of your AC or turn on your fan for a little bit before bed and It absorbs the extra coolness but either way it lasts all night. I use it with the cooling pillow, and the hot summer nights are no match. It’s easy to wash, really silky, smooth, and actually cool against the skin. It also somehow has a weighted blanket-like feel without being heavy. I standby this blanket so much that this is my second one, highly recommend!

Super Soft, Lightweight, and Surprisingly Cozy
This ended up being so much better than I expected. The first thing I noticed is how incredibly soft it is - it has that plush, velvety feel that makes you want to keep reaching for it all day. It’s lightweight but still warm, which I really like. It gives you that cozy, wrapped-up feeling without being heavy or overwhelming, so it works well for everyday use on the couch or even for sleeping. For reference, I’m 5’2” and it’s big enough to comfortably use as a full snuggle blanket. It also looks really nice draped over furniture. The texture adds a little dimension, and the clean, simple color gives it a polished look that doesn’t feel cheap. One thing to note is that it arrives compressed, but it fluffs up nicely once opened and feels much fuller after a little time. The only thing to keep in mind is that lighter colors will naturally show dirt more easily, so that’s something to be aware of with regular use. Overall, this has easily become my go-to daily throw - soft, comfortable, and much nicer than I expected for the price.

luxury fleece throw blanket ribbed plush texture cozy aesthetic blanket
This is one of those blankets that instantly makes a space feel more cozy and put together. The first thing that stands out is the texture. It has that plush, ribbed look that’s been really popular lately, very similar to those oversized lounge chairs and couches with the same soft, fluffy pattern. It looks especially good draped over furniture and adds a nice aesthetic touch instead of just being functional. It’s also genuinely soft and comfortable. The fleece has that “cloud-like” feel without being heavy or stiff, and it’s warm enough for everyday use without feeling overly thick. The size at 50 x 60 inches is great for lounging, whether you’re watching TV or just relaxing. I really appreciated how it was packaged. Instead of being secured with a bunch of plastic fasteners, it was simply wrapped with a ribbon, which made it easy to open and avoided the usual hassle of cutting out plastic tags. It also arrived vacuum sealed and had no odor at all, so it was ready to use right away. They even included a full-color instruction card, which was honestly a nice touch. It goes over care and even styling ideas, which adds to the overall presentation and makes it feel more polished. For the price, this feels like a great value. It looks good, feels good, and works well both as a functional blanket and as part of your home decor.
