I'm very unclear about what you're asking. Do you have an example of something you've created that includes what you're talking about?
I think they mean like a flow chart or another visual aid to show data changes and information flow through a program. Ive never seen anything like what they are asking for either in documentation, only in code meetings or developer charts.
Exactly what I was referring to. its the type of flow charts you find included in some whitepapers as well.
The problem with stuff like flow charts is that when you do a new feature that changes the chart then there's another chunk of time to update that document. If you're really interested in that all you can really do is make your own as you go through software and you'll see usual patterns how different code areas interact. it's not as useful as figuring it out on your own or studying design paradigms.
No, I haven't started my project yet. I was looking for docs with descriptions and diagrams about server-client chat algorithms. And I haven't found any, that's why I am asking!
