Oh my gosh... Flowcharting! The only time I ever used flowcharting was on tests.
I learned programing one night in 1977 while a Junior in High School. I'm sure most of the folks on this list just naturally understand how to program - they just "get it"... The process of programming (dividing a logic problem into discrete easily solvable chunks) just makes so much sense that most of us never had to rely on something as cumbersome as a flow chart. The function of the program defines its structure, and each node of the structure defines the algorithms to be used. It's a natural flow from "need" to "design" to "programming elements". Flowcharts are *pretty* though... Jon Carnes On Tue, 2005-12-13 at 14:16, Mark Freeze wrote: > I also love flowcharting. My BASIC computer instructor showed us how to > flowchart.
