Visual Languages, Visual Notations and Visual Programming Languages in Software Development

Posted on 25/12/2011 by

This is my current field of interest and I am reading many of papers (some good and some bad) on the subject. I searched the net and found that there are some lists with papers on the subject but most of them are outdated, so I decided to create my own list. You are invited to send me papers that you also think relevant by adding comments to the page. 01/01/2012 Update – The link is now invalid. See this post for a longer explanation.

Another try at visual programming gone away.
