Developing Web Applications Using UML (Building Web Applications with UML)

#Software #SoftwareDevelopment #UML #Engineering

I took out this rare book from the shelf, which is already more 20 years:) In it, the author in the early 2000s talked about web development and how to apply UML. I decided to take a look at what design and development books looked like when I started my career:)

This book was written in 2000 year

  • Right after Ajax. (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) into 1999But the book was mostly about Java applets, Active elements. X Before the appearance of Agile Manifesto 2001 And so the focus was on RUP. (Rational Unified Process) iteratively
  • Before UML goes down. (Difficult to determine a specific date)This is why the UML book clings to everything, even the DOM tree inside the HTML page:)
  • Before the dawn of Agile, so there is a chapter on the definition of architecture, which talks about use cases and three patterns: thin client, thick client and distributed version of the system. ~~blackjack and whores~~ CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture) RMI (Remote method invocation)
  • Even before the craze of user stories, so there is a whole chapter about requirements, functional and non-functional and their ranking

In the implementation chapter, it’s fun to look at the sequence and activity diagrams of a web system that doesn’t look interactive at all:) And in the chapter on implementation according to the old tradition, html code sheets are given (pages)Which, apparently, should have been reprinted to reproduce the examples:)

In general, this book is now more of a secondhand curiosity and a window into the past of web development than a useful source of knowledge:)
