Class diagrams describe classes and how they relate to each other. I'll not only cover class diagrams, but I'll also cover abstraction, encapsulation, visibility, multiplicity, dependence, inheritance, constraints, OCL and more. As an added benefit, because the concept is so simple, I'll also cover Object Diagrams in this tutorial. I hope you find it useful.
