By thinking of associations as marriages, we've hit on a way of making even complex associations easy to learn. In part 2 of this series on UML associations, we look at a way of upgrading associations to classes, in order to use instantiation.
Some UML concepts are more difficult to grasp than others, and associations are a concept that proves the rule. But by thinking of associations as marriages, we've hit on a way of making even complex associations easy to learn. Walk through this tutorial, which includes implementation examples in Octopus.
In recent years, two new trends in software engineering have been established—Aspect-oriented Programming (AOP) was developed to extend and ease programming, and the Model Driven Architecture (MDA) was introduced to take full advantage of the power of modeling. Many people are confused when confronted with both AOP and MDA. This article provides a crash-course on both topics and explains the differences and similarities between the two.
As software becomes more and more complex, the need for modeling increases exponentially. Learn about the six different levels of modeling maturity and why they're so important for you to begin implementing now—before it's too late.
