Thanks for replying, Bill,
I expect there are more than a few caveats to consider.
As I implied, in the Moore method an average of maybe 1% of class time is spent
by the professor speaking, 0% in lecture mode. I think it would be more in a
programming class, but still not enough to nod one out.
This is a great way to learn programming, but there are a few caveats that
might be considered.
As I learned to program, i could never get thru more than one lecture (pascal).
Ungodly boring! I needed a project and the docs. However, other folks may have
different learning styles. Some may be
Just my 2 cents worth:
When I was studying math as an undergraduate and as a graduate student, many of
the classes were taught by the (R. L.) Moore Method. In this method the
professor gives axioms, definitions and just the statements of the theorems.
The students have to prove the theorems the

Ridiculously Simple. It may be found as a free PDF download at

I have not put the book into print yet because o

Hi Richmond,
I wrote this some time ago:

Also, LiveCode really is a 4GL. Every 4GL has a specialisation. Some are
for managing databases, others for instructing cutting machines, and
again others for giving easy access to the API
