Demistifying Life and Web Development

Using a Wiki as a modelling tool

During this year I have found myself using Wiki’s in a way that seemed strange at first, but that made sense later on. I have been using Wiki’s to describe systems and processes, in detail, from which I was then able to model a solution using Object Oriented techniques and methods. I find that if I take time to write out what I want to do, hidden or vague things become clearer. From the description I can then identify objects and processes and implement those in a system or program. At the moment I am using a .NET based wiki called ScrewTurn wiki on a local Intranet. The wiki allows me to create and share articles across our organisation in a consistent manner, and the content remains as a constant reference both for myself and team members. A wiki can also act as a good knowledge management tool.
