Robert Maksimchuck and Eric Naiburg have been traveling over throughout the world the past 10+ years, speaking to people about modeling software, databases, businesses, and systems. They’ve had the great pleasure of meeting thousands of people on projects and at seminars, trade shows, corporate, and government site visits, and have had the opportunity to learn from each and every one of them. Many of the questions they’ve received are from people who just want to understand what this "UML thing" is all about and why they should bother to learn it or support it within their organization. In this book, Robert and Eric return the favor by answering many of the questions they received over the years about modeling, and specifically, using the Unified Modeling Language (UML).
