My work addresses the question of how to improve programming notations and environments used for developing interactive systems. I focus on representing the control flow in interactive programs in the hope that it will improve the programmer?s ability to understand how their programs work. My thesis is that offering programmers the ability to create and manipulate multiple ad-hoc views of the control flow is the right way to go, where current programming languages and environment each choose one particular view.
