Learning UML

Hi,

I'm new in this area and i'd like to know your opinion of which is the best method to learn UML. I've found some books, but the examples are so little....

Could you recommend me any site, book, e-learning course... where i can practice with more real examples, including diagrams...?

Thanks in advance,

Start with this website, http://www.omg.org.

There you find a myriad of resources for UML.

There are two authors that I would recommend heartily:Martin Fowler (Uncle Marty)Craig LarmanMartin does some great stuff, and he is a great presenter as well. Craig's stuff tends to be a bit dry, but very informative.

I started learning UML some 4 years back and since I was not surrounded by anyone who could be my mentor I found a book that described UML in my area at the time (Web Applications). The book I used was 'Building Web Applications with UML' (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0201730383/ref=sr_aps_books_1_1/026-9996586-2642833) It was good enough for me to begin with as it was describing UML in 'Web Application' terms.

Otherwise, I would also like to suggest 'UML Distilled' (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/020165783X/qid%3D1049326862/026-9996586-2642833) by Martin Fowler as it is a quick-to-read book with great examples.

In my oppinion the best practise is simply to do a lot of designs yourself and get other people to look at them and try to implement them.

My last recommendation for you is to check out some of the many projects on http://www.sourceforge.net which are documented using UML.
