I'm familiar with UML although I have never used for anything practical - more educational.
I am looking to design a diagram for my particular web application to assist me in understanding how everything fits togather, both now and in the future. As well I think it would help leaps and bounds in getting someone else on board to help me in development.
Problem is...I am not visually creative...I try and sketch some UML design for web architecture, representing the different layers of MVC in addition to some others, such as template layers, table data gateways, etc...
After months of refactoring and studying my codebase I have managed to pin point some mini-patterns as well which I would ike to represent for the sake of convention/consistency, etc...
I can explain using words alone, but I feel a nicely designed diagram would help ten fold.
So I ask, does anyone know of a resource where I might find a UML diagram for an existing project which I might use as inspriation in designing my own??? Mine always seem to come out as a linear flowchart. LOL
I am not looking for those diagrams which dictate the relationsips between the MVC triad...I find most are antiquated and not well suited for web application development. Rather a full blown, real world UML diagram which shows relationships between n-tier components, objects, layers, etc...
Any suggestions?
UML diagrams for web app architecture???
