   UML
  I know this doesn't purtain to code directly but I'm not sure where else to place the thread.  I'm just wondering what are some good UML software applications out there.  Are there any that are free?   
  UMLPad is free, but not too good. Ok if you just want to knock out some class diagrams though.   ;  UMLet is a great for quickly getting UML diagrams drawn up.ArgoUML is a lot more fully featured and more then a 'drawing tool'.Both are free.   ;  look at StarUML... I think it is realy good and it is for free (maybe you have to register on the homepage but thats it)Link;  Thank you everyone.  I'll check them out.
