I presented my "Effective Sketches" talk last night at Skills Matter where we looked at how to produce effective diagrammatic representations of software systems and why they are useful. In other words, we looked at how to draw boxes and lines. :-)
Here are the links to the slides and video.
- Evernote version of the slides (~34MB; see Using Evernote for training courses for information about what this is all about)

If you missed the talk, I'll be doing a slightly longer version at the upcoming Software Architect 2011 conference, which takes place in London during October.
