Just wrote a blog entry based on my experience using inkscape as a back-end software developer. I draw a lot of diagrams to explain what it is I am doing, or recently accomplished since the execs have a hard time appreciating my json output.

People ask me "man, how did you do that?!?" and I always just smile and say "Inkscape Baby!" but I finally took some time to write up what tips i've found useful as I've built up my expertise. Read it here:
