Publisher's Synopsis
Why flow-based programming is more productive and allows more maintainable code than previous approaches is the focus of this text. It explains the theoretical underpinnings and application of this programming method in practical terms: examples are mostly drawn from business applications; concepts are related as much as possible to real-world experience; many diagrams support the visual approach used in the technology.;Readers are shown how to apply flow-based programming in a number of areas and avoid common pitfalls. The book also addresses sociological, psychological and economic considerations involved in moving to a new application development paradigm. This book is a guide to the cost- and time-saving advantages of this new technology.
