What free resources can people recommend for learning UML from scratch? I'm looking for something suitable for anyone who is basically smart and IT literate, though not necessarily with a programming background. I'm not wedded to a particular format - videos, blogs, tutorials, whatever you've seen that works. |

This one is pretty good : http://www.cragsystems.co.uk/uml_tutorial/ Other than that I don't know much on-line resources but I do know excellent books. You have to make a distinction though. People have to learn the UML syntax and they have to know Object oriented analysis and design.

I'm a fan of Scott Ambler's Agile Modeling website. It is far more than just UML, but good agile/lean documentation approaches, which I find extremely helpful for small projects and larger projects using agile methodologies. If you're interested in more concrete, formal UML, I would recommend UML Distilled, 3rd Edition. |

I am current taking a system design class in my college program right now. The professor did not give us any textbooks to go with the course. Instead he just assigned us some websites to read. We are currently learning use cases, activity diagrams and class diagrams. As per text we are using he basically directed us here: http://www.uml-diagrams.org/ It is pretty good as far as what I have read, it goes into some in depth items. Hopefully this helps! |
