It’s simply does not load (i tried the domain index, jvcl homepage, and some others). It’s just me or there is a problem? Nick,

What’s happened to http://homepages.codegear.com??

It’s simply does not load (i tried the domain index, jvcl homepage, and some others).

Excellent tutorial. Guess this is one case where popularity parallels quality. I’ll wager the Practical UML article takes a measurable popularity jump after showing up here. Excellent tutorial.

But I still wonder whether UML is that much used by Delphi developers for their projects, beyond the ECO adepts. Aside from pure UML presentation subjects, you seldom see even a Class Diagram in the articles, the books, the .SWF movies, the conference slides or the Delphi help. This seems not to be the case for the Java or C# communities where UML is used, at least in the presentation articles. We use UML all the time, for papers, training and development, and are grateful that Delphi added the modeling features. Practical UML : this article certainly deserves it.

A system can go to far, and MS is definitely into the twilight territory now. Which explains why even now there are zero "power toys" for vista and the ultimate extras program has been an ultimate failure. There has to be a balance between procedure and performance.
