Flowchart diagram

[MA07]

Hello,
I'm quite new in programming,

I would like to know does anyone draw flowchart before they create/customize tools for Maya(python)?
If so do you mind to share it so I could learn it?
I'm still searching some on the internet.

Not sure whether this question is suitable or not.

thank you

Could you be referring to UML?

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Modeling_Language

I used to think it was the greatest thing, but nowadays I think it invites complexity into my design. If I can't keep up with or communicate the relationships between objects in my code without a flowchart, I consider it a red flag and simplify until I can.

If you're just starting out however, I think it could be helpful as a visual aid to your design. But maybe wouldn't depend on it too much.

When I do use it nowadays, 6-7 years into programming, it's typically to communicate some existing system to others. Like this, or this.

thank you. It something like this . I think. not sure whether it the same thing or not .

Looks like flow chart that could be produced via uml or some other modeling tool, to me. 

I've never made too much use of them in my own development process. Maybe it depends on the company or team you work with, or your own personal preference of a workflow to design a solution.

I do it all the time. Here's my process - 

• I start with rough sketches drawn by hand on paper representing the architecture. Usually, these are UML's
  
• When I have coded a fair bit, I use PyNSource to generate the UML's.
  
• I keep on iterating and refining.
  
• Sometimes I leave the UML's in the source code as ASCII strings (PyNSource lets you create UML as ASCII art)
