Correct me if I'm wrong, but UML stands for Unified Modeling Language and is just a fancy term for a flow chart. From what I gathered in my computer science class, it is used to plan out and organize the structure of your program. I'm not sure what it has to do with web pages. I don't know, maybe I'm delusional.

Brent is right... it is just a method of documenting the layout of your program / website / project. UML is not a necessary component of development, but is helpful to have on hand in the event you have to explain it to someone else or find yourself looking at the same project years from now.

You will find some flow charting programs have options for UML diagrams. If it doesn't create a web friendly format for you, just screen-capture it and save it as an image, then upload it to your website.

I'm not sure, but I'd expect some of the more professional packages would have support for 'dynamic' web diagrams- ie, ones where you could, for example, collapse and expand elements in class diagrams to show/hide certain members.

MS Visio looks fairly promising.

UML is a languge which is used for drawing various diagrams related to the project , mainly software project! it is used to build diagrams like ' control flow diagram, object diagram, time diagrams, response diagram etc'! it is important to use UML if u join a big software company! for personal user it just increases your efficiency and is a good way of documenting your project!

Yeah, I was thinking the same, but I don't have it installed at the moment, so couldn't check. Besides, my version is a bit old- 2003 or 2005, if I recall- so even if it lacked such functionality, it doesn't mean that the newer versions would.

If Visio has it, I wouldn't be surprised if the OpenOffice.org analog, Draw, does as well. I haven't played with it though, since I mainly use OO Writer as a substitute for MS Word.
