Can anyone point me, and probably others, to some type of tutorial of UML
that would include a real world application. I have been reading and trying
to put it all together but there is sooo much to understand. For me being
able to review the documents and the objects related would help me realize
how to utilize the UML stuff.

Also, is anyone using UML for their current projects? Thinking about it,
tried it and said hell no?



Thanks!

Beware of methodology.
 
The natural problem with UML is that is all you end up doing - updating the
UML to match the program. MS is coming out in VS 2005 with Whitehorse. It
is not standard UML, but is fitted directly to your code so round-tripping
works. So you get the benefits of logical design all the way down to code
and when you change the code the designer changes. I think you need Team
System to try this out.
 
Just to add to other answers:
If you want to see how standard UML becomes C# code, download a trial
version of Enterprise Architect from Sparx systems. Draw up some class
diagrams and export to code. Round-tripping works nicely in this tool, and
the diagrams are UML standard.
