UML which stands for unified modeling language is often defined in as a language for visualizing, specifying and documenting the artifacts of software systems. It is therefore imperative for software developers and architects to have a proper understanding of both the syntax and semantics of the language as well as its application. UML provides a means for developers to exchange design ideas among each other rather than in code. The disadvantage of representing design ideas in code is that today's programming languages cannot express architecture. UML being a visual language by nature provides an avenue for developers to visualize the structure of the application they are trying to build. Also UML is critical to learning and understanding design patterns.

I like generating UML diagrams for object-oriented code I write. Really helpful for visualizing the relationship between classes.

@Poster, are you trying to offer your time to help put together UML documents? If yes, please let us know oo.

@kobojunkie Why not i will be happy to help put together some UML documents. I think is very important for developers/aspiring developers to properly understand UML syntax and semantics.
