Good lord. I'd rather read C++ than UML. And I can't read C++.
UML is under-rated. I certainly don't have any love of the 47 different
flavors of diagram, but the basic idea of having a common graphical
language for describing how objects and classes interact is pretty
useful. Just don't ask me to remember which kind of arrowhead I'm
supposed to use in which situation.
I frequently draw diagrams to understand the relationships between my
classes and the problem I am trying to solve. I almost invariably use one
type of box and one type of arrowhead. Sometimes if I'm bored I draw
doodles on the diagram. If only I could remember to be consistent about
what doodle I draw where, I too could be an UML guru.
Yea, it can be tricky. But if you persevere you will gain enlightenment.
It does take a bit of application though.
