Mind map as programming language

[Garito]

Hi all!
My name is Garito and I'm trying to develop a programming language based on mind maps

A mind map is the source code in my language

what I've done so far?

I have a Zope product that has a early version of the interpreter and a mind map that represents a very simple website (a main menu with several pages: you click on the menu and the page is loaded via AJAX. You could add, edit and delete pages via TTW with AJAX too)

What I'm doing now?

I would like to re-implement the core in a non-Zope ambient

I choose WSGI to develop the core

What I will do when I finish the current stage?

I will change the way I develop the mind map to work as a taxonomy with some added code to be represented in a web environment

Have you any similar interest?

Thanks!

Hi Garito,

I'm not a specialist in programming but I think what you're doing with mind mapping is highly interesting.

It doesn't matter, Philippe!
If you could describe a work process or a work flow you could program (the technical details are resolved by programmers, it's the last mile)

Do you want to make a test?

You have Blogger as weblog

Could you make a mind map about blogger as program? (perhaps freemind is the better way to create the map because is open source and everyone could use it)

When you do it (if you want, if not it doesn't matter) we can talk about the result and how you will do with Yanged (my technology)

Everyone can do the same with their programs, it's amazing!

Thanks for reply!

hey garito, likewise with phillippe i think it is very interesting.

when you say source code, do you mean like html etc. for instance, interpreting source code of mind mapping,

 

<node>cosgrove & hall</node>
<link><a href="#djason">danger mouse - penfold</a></link>

<link form="arc"><a href="#djason">count duckula</a></link>

<link>bill & ben the flower pot men</link> <link>postman pat</link>

<node name="djason">david jason</node>
<link>only fools & horses</link>
<link>a touch of frost</link>

<node>nicolas lyndhurst</node>
<link>good night sweatheart</link>

I got carried away sorry, is it this kind of source code garito?

also what is a Zope product? not very 'up' on programming.

how do tag clouds function? i set one up on my blog through easy instructions of 'paste this part of script here' very specific to blogger format.

http://phy3blog.googlepages.com/Beta-Blogger-Label-Cloud.html

are these useful for programming mind mapping as a language, i.e. eliciting connections?

does think map use a programming language?

Think Base

also, i'm curious, how do many eyes & explora tree fit in?

do they have a script, specific tags like

<node>cosgrove & hall</node>
<link><a href="#djason">danger mouse - penfold</a></link>

and last but not least, what type of actions/events would you need mind mapping for a workflow/process... something like this? http://visualthinkmap.ning.com/photo/photo/show?id=2168552%3APhoto%...

When I say source code I mean source code

For example at:

http://blogs.sistes.net/Garito/608

If you see this mind map with some attention you could see a Pagina (Page) definition part

Pagina
    has a method called Ver (See)
        that has Edicion (Edition)
            who is a buton (BotonEditar)
            that you could click on it (Clicable)
        then there are some fields (ParaCadaCampo) that are listed in Campos
            that are rendered with its value (Valor)
    has a method called Preguntar

In the way you design and decide how the program will work you are programming

What I pretend with my work is trying to avoid the need of program in the traditional way and concentrate yourself (and your team) in the design process

I begin this work at an application server called Zope (http://www.zope.org) and the extensibility Zope way is called Products (you need to write a product and then you could create object from this product) it's the Zope plug-in system

What do you think about?

i think about thinking, not to be awkward (blunt). i think about how we visualise ideas through creative design and how our experiences/self's affect this visualisation process.

i think about clear, clean informative design's/graphics. complexity presented clearly and structured in an easy to understand way. whether it uses colour, arcs, links, lines, dashes, juxtaposed (arranged side by side).

I think in arrange my ideas to the simplest form

When we try to teach a young boy/girl we simplify our language in order facilitate the learn process

In computing is useful to make the job quickly

Tree are the most simplest form to arrange a workflow

And computers understand so good workflows

It's great! if you get to know please tell us how you were to be documented, luck

Hi Annie!
Better to document something that could be wrong, I prefer to talk about it in a abstract way

Why?

Because talking about how to arrange things is the better way to see if a way is the better one

If I document it in a regular way it's easy to critic the method itself instead of try to find a better one

As trees, describe things is a iterable process: as much you invest in try to find a good way, as much you simplify the process

I have a weblog were I talk about Yanged (try to find Yanged on Google you'll get it) but is in spanish
