Flowcharts: What does this mean and why should I care? Good question. A flowchart is used to break big ideas into small, bite-sized pieces that are expressed visually. Knowing how to flowchart is like having access to a Universal language which makes it possible to communicate all sorts of things with all sorts of people. Isn’t that cool?

In general, when you have to explain a project or walk through a process, you would find flowcharts - a great helpful tool. They are the graphical representation of your thinking process. It allows you to chalk out your ideas and thoughts in a logical and organized fashion. Depending on what you're trying to accomplish - a simple recipe to a complex programming logic - chances are, there's a flowchart to help. They're versatile and can be used to meet a range of needs.

Nowadays, it’s an almost forgotten art :-(. With this class, I would like to bring this old technique back as a starting point for effective and efficient way to lay out processes and workflows.
