This course teaches you Rational Rhapsody's core capabilities, enabling you to rapidly develop applications using UML. It assumes you already know UML. The course is given in the C++ language using Rational Rhapsody for C++. You will do reverse engineering integrate a C programming code example into a C++ project. Using hands-on exercises that replicate "real world" applications, you will forge a strong Rational Rhapsody foundation and learn how to optimally leverage the solution's automation of software development activities and artifact generation capabilities. Note: this course does not cover UML so it is one day shorter than course Essentials of IBM Rational Rhapsody V7.5.3 for Software Engineers (QQ137).
