If you follow me on Twitter, you may have seen a strange tweet yesterday:

Looking for a word... "Employee" is to "Roster" as "Vehicle" is to _____? "Fleet" doesn't seem quite right.

With a lot of helpful suggestions, especially from @patrickgreene, we settled on “Fleet Manifest”. It’s ideal for what I needed.

But in case you’re wondering why I needed that term, here’s a slide from the UML QuickStart class from 213 Software Studios (click pictures for larger images):

And here’s another:

"Think one through..." is what we'll do after these slides. I'll show you diagrams of the concepts first, so you know what we're trying to accomplish; and then together, we'll think through a live example. And then you and your team will do your own examples, and I'll help you get it right.

These are just a tiny sample of what you’ll get in a full day of intensive hands-on UML training. Email John T. Hopkins at jhopkins@213softwarestudios.com or call (248) 425-8549 for more information.
