Live Q&A - Express Your Software Ideas Graphically
Jean Labrosse
Live Q&A with Jean Labrosse for the theatre talk titled Express Your Software Ideas Graphically
16:05:42 From Keith J : Jean - No question but thank you. Very real and relatable. Another great presentation as usual although very different than your typical subject. 16:07:28 From Peter Schulz : I'm always disappointed by students not able to provide an introductionary block diagram in their theses. You read 10 pages of text without any picture. Hard to get into their solutions. 16:10:37 From CPannell : For UML-ish illustrations I vastly prefer using PlantUML to programmatically write the diagrams 16:10:55 From ofheybeli : would you recommend designing API with UML for a graphical diagram, sequence diagram, etc.? 16:10:56 From CPannell : just check it into your version control and modify as needed 16:11:49 From Gary Sutcliffe : I like yEd Graph Editor for flow charts and state machines. There are lots of alternatives as you pointed out. 16:13:52 From Jay Cosper : +1 for plantuml 16:16:33 From CPannell : iirc Doxygen or sphinx, I forget which can be configured to generate callgraphs, but not much better. You CAN link your diagrams into your doxygen docs so they will show up together 16:17:01 From Jay Cosper : Correct. We used Doxygen this way 16:18:03 From Andreas J. : draw.io would be another good one … 16:19:39 From ofheybeli : Would you suggest giving a version to the source code file? How do you think it would be to increase the version with each change? 16:19:59 From Andreas J. : thx for the tipps linking inside doxygen - Is doxygen flexible/easy to handle enough to create a whole „master" document? 16:20:22 From CPannell : hooking sphinx into doxygen is nice enough for that 16:20:25 From Jay Cosper : thanks for the talk! 16:20:29 From CPannell : doxygen is a bit ugly and clunky on its own 16:20:33 From ofheybeli : tnaks 16:20:34 From Andreas J. : thx! 16:20:34 From CPannell : check Microsoft dev blog on it
