Hi All,
I am teaching an intro software engineering class and have been
promoting use of ArgoUML. My students are really learning the basics
of UML diagramming (not code-generation to/from UML) in addition to
software process, etc..
My question is do you feel the product is stable enough to have them
use? Many have reported crashing and difficulty using it during their
first assignment a simple class diagram. I have seen an issue or two
also and wonder what the feeling is from people who have used it a
lot? I'm trying to get the students excited about UML and modeling
and don't want the tool to be the hard part. I'm sure they run a
variety of operating systems and have a variety of memory/cpu
configurations.
I see the benefit of open source as them being able to use this at
work after this class ends without a big cost associated with it (and
I tend to favor open source tools because I like the open source
model anyway :-)
Just thought I'd take a poll if people have opinions on using this at
the under-grad level in a University. If so, what kinds of problems
should I expect and be able to deal with? (Printing seems to be one.)
Should I be using the latest dev build or the stable build?
Thanks,
Dan Fleck
