Visual Logic is a neat little program that lets you turn your algorithms into executable flowcharts. This allows you to test you logic before writing a program in a programming language like VB or C#. The best part about the flowcharts you develop in Visual Logic is that you can give them to any programmer, and they can make your algorithm into a program in their language.
Here are a few resources available through the library.
