Recommended software architecture design tools

I'm looking for a tool in which I can draw highlevel overviews of proposed system architectures at a class level. I'd probably be looking for a UML editor.

I have been tasked with starting from scratch on the CMS/engine and admin/backend for website for the company I work for. What we do would be classed as 'quite unique' (though, isn't everyone's situation?) and I am looking at ways I can move towards a better system from something that is downright painful to use. Our current system pro...

This is not a "is math required for programming?" question. I always thought that for programming, a scary amount of complicated math would be involved (I only got as far as intermediate algebra in college because I'm bad with it). However, I just got my first job as a developer and have found there is not a ton of math above basic ar...
