What is UML? Some type of markup language, I'm guessing.

UML is a detailed form of diagramming used mostly in software development.

See, I think UML makes more sense for waterfall. You can do the diagrams once and then execute on them. Maybe you change them a little bit as you go along, but not much.

In iterative, you'd have to change them over and over again. I doubt most people would, and you'd end up with the diagrams not matching the sytem.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Current instructor sees iterative as repeteadly modifying the diagrams to look progressively less and less like the "problem domain" and more like the solution architecture. Also, to pick the high profile use cases and start from there.

Thanks, ita!

Perkins,

you need to set up the Tivo to check the mothership periodically or the clock starts drifting and the taping won't begin and end at the correct time.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

Jilli, my buddy Rivethead_242 is making his club DJ debut (he's DJ'd between sets at a few local concerts) this weekend, and he's DJing by iPod. Actually, I think it's 1 iPod, 1 iBook, and his iButt.

Our wings are not tired

I'm thinking about upgrading my iButt to an iBootie. Anyone have any advice on this upgrade?
