Not being familiar with UML specifically, I find this amusing. Years ago
I learned all the "structured" techniques around the time OO was taking
off. I learned some of the OO modelling, too. I found Entity
Relationship Diagrams (ERDs) and transaction-based analysis quite
useful, even in an OO context.
Have things gotten *worse* since then? Have older, useful methodologies
fallen by the wayside because they're not new and cool?
See for yourself:
http://www.uml.org/
The new thing, or at least the new thing a year ago when this was
shoved on us, is that now they are going to *generate code from UML*.
For some reason the prospect of a graphical programming language has
got a lot of people hyped up.
