Introduction

UML. There are literally hundreds of pages describing UML on the Web. If someone wants to learn about it, what should (s)he do? Look at the first few hits in Google? I expect we can do better than that. Write a review of the MVC sites on the Web. Which are best for learning about the concept? Which have the most instructive examples? Which are best for explaining how to apply UML in Ruby and Java? If you choose this topic, you should be sure to peruse at least several dozen sites.

What is UML

Unified Modeling Language Resource Page This is the homepage of the organization that defines the UML standard, the Object Management Group.

Wikipedia UML Article Overall, like most of the Wikipedia pages it is a decent overview that has a number of key elements covered for a basic level. It discusses the history of UML and many design elements are basic at best.
