By the end of this article, you will know what an Activity diagram is, what its elements are, and you will be able to create Activity diagrams for your system.

Discover how you can depict the dynamic behavior of the entire system, or a sub-system, or even a single object in a system.

Gain a logical view of the system with the object diagram. This is especially helpful to difine smaller portions of your system, when your system class diagram is very complex, and also sometimes recursive.

See a practical example of what class diagrams are, and how to create them.

Continuing our UML series, we will see what class diagrams are, what the elements of a class diagram are, what each of these elements signify, and how to identify them.

Learn the basics of UML use case diagrams and try your hand at drawing one. Additionally, see what a UML use case specification is.
