QuestionWhat tools do you use to design? Pin

I kinda get a feeling that most here are some sort of professionals Poke tongue | ;-P I mean at least make "some kind of money out of software to which they have contributed". I think I am not wrong if I say most here also do "hobby" projects.

At work, most are "supposed" to use certain tools and procedures. And by themselves, they either are "spoilt" by practice and continue the same that they employ at work or may use their tried-n-tested methodology.

I am interested in the kinds of tools and procedures that you guys make use of during the design stages, both at work and by yourselves. Do you (prefer to) use those fancy block/cloud diagram tools, flow charting tools and the like?

Personally, I prefer paper and pencil. I draw and jot down stuff using those. Oh, an eraser is handy as well Wink | ;) If I need a soft copy of that, I use notepad where I use bullets and indentations to organize the ideas and layout. And somehow, I am lucky to be able to use this method at work too. (I mostly develop useful, reusable, non trivial components, along with an assistant, although at times I am also involved in using them in some of our products beyond the "demo" level). And I must not fail to emphasize that I dream a lot. I mean, I imagine a lot about the component, including the code that's going to come! So, most part of it is designed in the head but I sure do comment about those both in code and design document (although I am lazy to reproduce every thought into words and diagrams but I think thats OK as of now as I am the one who's in charge of what I do and also I can brief them to the bosses, unambiguously, when needed).
