The Art of Diagrams

Diagrams. If well done, they save a lot of text and co-opt new areas of our brain to navigate complexity. Let’s take a terrible diagram and improve it. Then, let’s talk about C4 Model and some tools you should definitely know about. Also, be ready to share with the community any cool tool you use to visualize the complexity of software faster.

Agenda:

• Diagrams Best Practices
• Arrows: Flow vs Data vs Dependency Direction
• C4 Model by Simon Brown
• WSYIWYG Diagramming Tools
• PlantUML
• Dependency Matrix (IntelliJ)
• Call Hierarchy Flow
