UML as a subject is extremely vast, which is why this particular post is divided into two different parts. While I won’t be getting into the very basic aspects of UML diagrams today, I thought it would be pertinent to elaborate on the different types of UML diagrams and what exactly they should be used for. As most diagrammers may be aware, UML diagrams are generally divided into two main categories, i.e. Structural Diagrams and Behavioural Diagrams. While this post will concentrate on the former, expect to read all about the latter tomorrow in Part 2 of this series. So if you’re a newbie when it comes to all things UML, this really is the perfect starting point for you.
