Course Overview
Take your software and business analysis skills to completely new levels with advanced UML conceptual modelling.
"It is not often that a course reinforces many many years of professional system and design experience and also provides a new perspective on that experience with deep philosophical and cognitive psychology understanding...Very satisfied with taking this course, and plan to refer others and reference it again and again." - Pete Gordon
Learn how I have helped international businesses as well as my own startups for soon 20 years to reshape blurry, vague and often contradicting ideas into crystal clear businesses, products, and software systems! Getting your concepts straight and visualised for scrutiny, early on, in any development effort is often what makes the difference between success and failure.
In this course you will learn everything of value about the special technique of object-oriented conceptual modelling that I have successfully employed in hundreds of workshops with business and software people, always with great success. In conjunction of being one of the most essential activities in the first steps in any software analysis and design endeavour, conceptual modelling could also be used on an everyday basis as a means of communicating more clear, acquiring knowledge faster and catalyst creative thinking.
The conceptual modelling technique using UML (Unified Modelling Lanugage), also called domain modelling or concept mapping, taught in this course gives you a very thorough understanding on the foundations of object-oriented class modelling. I have for 20 years professionally developed object-oriented systems and for more than 5 years I worked in a small team together with some of the founding "fathers" (including Ivar Jacobson) of UML and Object Oriented Design (OOD), where we developed tools for Software Architects and Analysts.
Concept mapping will propel your success rate in delivering value and getting rid of the most crucial waste; the waste of doing the wrong things, in the wrong order for the wrong reason.

Absolutely, a good match indeed.

The class reaches the promised content ("take your software and business analysis skills to completely new levels with advanced UML conceptual modelling") beyond the half of the lectures. At the beginning, it focuses in philosophy related to similar concepts than those covered by UML, but even it was interesting, was not what the description promised

RRichardson Joseph
For one, this is a philosophical course, there's just way too much going on about philosophy and barely anything on actually using UML with practical examples in software dev or object oriented programing.

I'm a self-taught system architect that comes from a developer background. My inital goal was to learn more about UML as a language, but found this to be way more interesting as it both shows a bit of UML (so far) but more so why it's a good tool to use. My biggest problems historically has been to conceptualize my architectures to others (mostly because I've been using boxes and arrows very creatively rather than actual UML) and I have a feeling that this course will help me to better articulate my designs.
