Blog This Diagram – gliffy

November 13, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Cool option from gliffy.  I have been using this service for nearly 4 years (off and on).  It does everything I need as I rarely take things as a system from a UML tool to code generation.  But it definitely provides some good options, good availability, and rapid dev.

Wait, mid post I read the fact that its embed does not work in WordPress and I have to use a simple image… Boo!!!

The emotional let down was akin to this.  I say they could make up for it if they added Publish to UML. :P

FWIW, the diagram here is a DFD for View/Controller classes and how their controllers affect the models which in tern dispatch events that their views listen to.  I am torn between implementing public methods on the models that the controllers call and using events that the controllers send and the models listen to.  I am pretty sure that a many to one call and a one to many event is the best pattern.  Open for debate starting now…
