I'm also a newbie to UML and i started trying to understand Fowler (UML Distilled). Things are very concise in there and i found it difficult to understand them clearly. I heard people saying that Larman is bulky in content, but relatively easy to understand.

Another good book for learning UML is "UML for Java Programmers" by Robert Martin, IMO: http://www.objectmentor.com/UMLFJP/

The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts. Think only on those things that are in line with your principles and can bear the light of day. The content of your character is your choice. Day by day, what you do is who you become. Your integrity is your destiny - it is the light that guides your way. - Heraclitus

Hi,
Start by Fowler. By doing so u will get breif (infact Distilled ) view of UML diagrams along with OOAD. Then as soon as u finsih Fowler, pick Larman. But this time learn Larman and Fowler parallely.
I followed above strategy and now quite comfortable with OOAD using UML.
Bye,
Viki.
