Hi everyone,

I think this is a newbie question but that's exactly what I'm in C++ and programming generally.
I undrsatand that tools such as pseudocode, flowcharts and hierarchy charts are planning tools that are useful in the process of identifying exactly what steps to take to solve a programming problem.
My difficulty in this regard is in understanding the order in which these planning tools should be created and used to develop a complete design of the solution for a program. Any advice on any particular order? Any recommendation of a particular book that offers an indepth insight into this important aspect of programming?

Thanks in advance.
