Today I was replying to some post that a guy did on codeproject.com asking for a tool that could allow him to model and understand a huge piece of somebody's else code.
So I suggested him to use my favorite tool, the one that I use on a daily basis: Cmaps !
This was my reply:
"...Most of the times I use a tool called "cmaps" (Conceptual maps) and let me tell you that I've tried a lot of knowledge modeling tools, but this one is terrific. Most of the times before facing a coding session I create myself a road map to clarify and polish my ideas about what I'm going to do. And not only for coding, when I'm reading a book I also use it to keep track and get a better understanding of what I've read... I also have used it for when I'm reading somebody's else code and it does a pretty good work. i highly recommend it to you.
You can get a copy from here: http://cmap.ihmc.us/
Just picture this: The tool was sponsored and is sponsored by the US navy for the single reason that they needed a tool that allowed them to teach faster to the soldiers in the aircraft carriers. (Having one single soldier for a year in one of this ships costs a LOT of money).
The tool allowed them to teach a 10% faster !! Just imagine that you could have a soldier 11 months instead of 12, and that each month per soldier is US 1,000, and imagine you have 1,000 soldiers, how much money did they save ?? Interesting !!!....."
Anyways..., this tool works in the same way the neurons work inside the body !
