Visual Programming in Data Flow Environments

Lecture by Craig Upson. The video was recorded in April 10, 1992. The use of visual programming has become more common over the past few years. Visual programming can fill the need for an easier alternative to traditional programming brought about by the increasing number of computer users and programmers. This lecture discusses visual or iconic programming in general as well as visual programming in a data flow environment. Design alternatives are discussed for visual data flow implementations. Live examples are used to illustrate the techniques presented.
