Just been drawing some flowcharts for my next blog post. Was using draw.io which is fine, but it’s no Helix Computer Flowchart Template.

I’ve probably still got the one I used in school and college in a drawer somewhere.

I used a variety of drafting templates in high school, but I don't think I ever had my hands on a proper flowchart template. Flowcharting was kind of out-of-vogue when I was studying CS in uni.

Sadly I’m old enough for it to have been all the rage. I don’t use them often, but sometimes they’re a neat way of explaining small workflows.

I think I only knew how to read them back then because I saw them sometimes accompanying the source code in the computer magazines that I avidly consumed, as a child. (I was always doomed to go into Computer Science.)

I STILL flowchart my programs. IMHO, it is the only way to really define the program flow BEFORE you attempt architecture.
