Date: Tue, 16 Jan 2001 12:02:46 -0500 From: Dan Jacobs Subject: WebTech meeting tonight (1/16) 7pm IBM Waltham Hi all, I apologize for the last-minute notice, but the January meeting of WebTech is this evening at 7pm at the IBM SPC in Waltham. Directions are available at the website, at http://www.acm.org/chapters/webtech. The feature presentation will be by Brent Hansen from Embarcadero Technologies, Inc. who recently acquired Advanced Software. The subject of the meeting is "Accelerating Java Development with the UML" which will cover an overview of the UML, and how to improve Java development using the UML and Embarcadero's software tools. Once again, I invite one and all to gather for supper before the meeting at the Green Papaya restaurant on Winter St. in the shopping center right off the southbound Winter St exit. Let me know if you plan to join us so I can reserve seats. We normally try to order at around 5:30. I hope to see you there. -- Dan Jacobs, chairman Abstract --------------------------------- Accelerating Java Development with the UML This session reviews the UML notation and its support for effective software analysis, design and implementation. Next we delve deeply into using UML to design Java applications with particular emphasis on producing a complete, runnable application in Java based on UML models. This session will create and complete a real-world applet using UML models to then generate and complete development of a runnable applet. Rather than being an "academic" discussion of UML theory, this real-world UML for Java tutorial will take the users through a complete cycle of UML modeling and application development. This session is essential for Java developers considering the use of UML in an upcoming project.
