Jim was responsible for some proposed extensions to UML that made it
easier to model web applications. I implemented them in TogetherSoft's
Control Center CASE tool (now owned by Borland) and found it pretty
useful for storyboarding and modeling forms and data flow.
Fowler and Scott's "UML Distilled" is also worth reading.

Yes, I use that nowadays but haven't really 'gotten into it' yet. I was
very used to Together - used that since early '97.

I'm not entirely sure you need to learn patterns first - most patterns
are described in UML - but you'll much more out of UML if you learn
some basic OOA/D (object oriented analysis and design).
