Flow charts

[Mike Bailey]

Recently a Microsoft speaker came to my school to talk about programming. She talked about a lot of things but the thing that stuck out the most was when she started talking about planning a project. She told us that one of the biggest problems they have at Microsoft is planning. She told us that most of the programmers at Microsoft would just jump in to writing the program with out much planning. So now one of my instructors is having us do Flow charts for every project we do (I hate floew charts)any way at home I use Visio but at school we don
