I'm a self-taught programmer which means I started writing software by sitting down at an IDE and hammering out some code. When my decisions ultimately coded me into a corner I would refactor and rewrite. This was a great learning experience for me but I want better for myself now. I am starting to see the benefit of creating design documents. So far this has been rough sketches of what I want GUI elements to look like and a few flow charts. A few other things I've been doing: - Top-down and Bottom-up design - Design Patterns - Requirements - Trying to understand the needs of my apps - Designing classes before implementing them But what I am having trouble with is putting it all together. Is there a process or method that works well? Is there an approach to writing the document that I can follow? Perhaps a few steps. Are there questions that I can ask myself? The answers to which will be useful in the creation of an outline for my projects and applications.
