Database Applications White Papers
Picturing Program Design
Overview For millennia, people have been using graphical approaches - stick figures and the like - to communicate ideas. When the first programmers started creating applications for business users (and it quickly became clear that neither party understood the other's language), once again stick figures (along with boxes, lines, bubbles, and the occasional word) came to the rescue. Over time, various graphically oriented techniques, such as producing the data definition diagrams used by structured programmers and the entity relationship diagrams used for relational database applications, became mainstream approaches to facilitating analysis and design as well as a means of recording and communicating system requirements. Today, in the world of object-oriented and distributed computing, Unified Modeling Language (UML) diagrams serve these purposes.
