Hi everyone,
Many UML tool has a capability to generate source code from diagrams. I think it is also an advantage. So the designer can hand in the skelton of each
java files with the diagram.
I make a lot of mistakes.
I am grad that I can visualize my idea so I can get some clitique on it before the coding.
It's not absolutely necessary.
I agree that learning the standard like UML is a big investment for a company or individual programmer. As far as I have heard, programmers who plactice those standards pays off the investment pretty first.
Personally,
I like the idea, and I intend to keep studying for a while.
