Hi Arno, I have taught the Rational Requirements Management with Use Cases and the OOAD courses. The first is very worthwhile if you are not familiar with visual modeling - it is geared toward Business Analysts and you might find it a bit too fundamental. An alternative you could consider is to get someone (Rational or partner) to come show you how you would model the requirements for your system. Many of the Rational support teams offer this concept of a requirements workshop. And depending on the team, your project, etc., can be more cost effective than the formal course.
I am a big fan of the OOAD training as it offers not only UML but a well-defined process for getting from requirements to code with a lot of things you may not have thought of even if you have used UML. I teach it at Rice University's Continuing Education under Rational's SEED program. The OOAD has been restructured to accomodate different levels of experience and expertise and I hear very good things about them but have not tried them myself. I see they have web versions of some of the courses and that might be a good one-person-training-with-no-travel-cost option. The Rational Developer Network, in general, will have examples and guidance which will help with your training needs. It is no cost if you are a Rational customer. www.rational.net Hope this helps, cve Cindy VanEpps Harris County Justice System Software Engineering Analyst 713-755-0976 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, April 10, 2002 7:53 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: (ROSE) study uml ...? Hi all, I have a question for you guys about studying software requirements specifying with UML. I am interested in studying 'specifying software requirements with uml' and/or 'analysing/designing software applications'. I have searched the Rational website and found out that they indeed provide training. I have a question about the Rational courses: - I think I am quite experienced in using UML and Rational Rose. I don't think I need to know the basics of modelling. Does anyone know if the courses provided by Rational are useful (and worth the price) if I would attend such a course? Are only the basic subjects covered or is the subject quite detailed? Are there any self-study books or courses that can be used (not necessarily provided by Rational) Does anyone have any suggestions?
