A Glimpse of GNU/Linux

Freemind is the first and best mindmapper application that is known to me. Thanks to Mr. Dhanan for introducing to that software and demonstrating it’s power in various arenas. Freemind is written in Java, that makes it a highly portable application.
Well, a mindmapper is an application which helps you to perform mindmapping. Perplexing, right ?? Then what is mindmapping ??

“A mind map is a diagram used to represent words, ideas, tasks, or other items linked to and arranged radially around a central key word or idea. It is used to generate, visualize, structure, and classify ideas, and as an aid in study, organization, problem solving, decision making, and writing.” — Says wikipedia.

 Recent days, I have been using Freemind extensively, for the presentations ( yes, I did one “Introduction to programming in Python” presentation in Freemind for HP zone members of Ushustech).  I was really able to convey the “Flow of my thought” using mindmaps in Freemind and I really enjoyed that presentation ( I hope those guys too ).

We can use freemind for designs of applications too.  I have decided to do one small Java ME application to find the Body Mass Index (BMI) . First thing I created is the mindmap of that application and then code it. That way, I can think over the application’s features and drawbacks visually. My BMI mindmap goes like this..

 Next time , when you are going to present something, do it in Freemind . It will be a refreshingly new experience.
