Welcome to this Blog. I am Software Engineer and work for Zühlke Engineering AG in Bern. This is my private blog, in which I will post mainly about technical stuff like Software Engineering or IT related topics. The views expressed herein do not necessarily represent those of my employer.
There are many UML tools out there. But if I want to draw just a simple UML 2.0 diagram without having a heavy model as background, I use Visio. Why? Because it’s just simple.
Unfortunately, the built in UML templates are not quite good. But fortunately, you can download UML 2.0 stencils for Visio from the internet. These stencil are perfectly UML 2.0 conform and helps to draw simple UML diagrams.
I just found a really good Quick Reference sheet about the Design Patterns from the GoF (Gang of Four). Have a look at this blog.
