This week I discovered the art of creating sequence diagrams
for my implementation class. To be honest I never understood the importance of
planning out a system before starting to programming. I always figured that I
could program an application, or a program, faster than it would take to plan
out the functionality and then program. I still believe that getting right to
the programming could be a good strategy for a small program. With that being
said, a complicated system can be very hard to implement, and planning out which
elements of a program need to be able to talk to one another is very
beneficial.
Sequence diagrams are beginning to be a little bit
enjoyable. It is fun to plan out which entities need to be created, which
methods they need to have, and which methods they need to call to make the
system work as a whole. Designing a
system can be tedious, but it is very beneficial in the end.
