Beyond diagrams
Beyond diagrams
Capture your thoughts in diagrams, generate documentation, make them executable
About the Book
This book is about communication. More specifically – visual and non-visual communication using diagrams and artifacts derived (generated) from them. It explains how to communicate with humans, including self, by generating documentation sites and with computers by using diagrams as configuration resources, making diagrams executable or generating executable code from them. It also explains how to make diagram contents available to AI.
