Maybe UML doesn't make you code faster, but it could make you code better. Also, artifacts like activity diagrams and textual use cases are usable throughout the development process to help explain unclear processes.
With development methodologies like extreme programming, most of the artifacts are actually after the development process. There are many UML artifacts that are quite usable by non-OO languages: activity diagrams, use cases, sequence diagrams, collaboration diagrams, deployment diagrams. ----- Original Message ----- From: Kevin Graeme <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tuesday, March 11, 2003 12:10 pm Subject: RE: Reminder: Tonight is the NYCFUG Meeting on UML and ColdFusion! > Judith, > > I don't know Mark Murphy, but could you ask at the meeting how UML is > supposed to let you create faster?
