No flames, though it should be noted that UML does not have to be used only with OOP, there are many diagrams that are useful within any programming paradigm.
I'd recommend coming to grips with UML itself first before moving on to Design Patterns, since a lot of the patterns text you'll find incorporates models. UML Distilled by Martin Fowler is a good resource book, along with The Elements of UML Style by Scott Ambler. The Conallen book is also good, along with UML Explained by Kendall Scott and lots of other books. But I guess you asked for online resources... http://www.uml.org http://www.embarcadero.com/support/uml_central.asp http://www.devx.com/uml/ http://www.objectsbydesign.com/index.html That should get you off to a decent start anyway... ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: "Byron J.
