Thanks for the link, which was very interesting. There is a quite deep insight there about what made Hypercard so inviting, and why LC is so accessible. Its not just drag and drop, its working directly with the thing one is making. Of course you still end up typing a lot of text, but these systems are a small part of the way to what the people interviewed are talking about.
I recall a moment many years ago now when the difference between the ordinary user's understanding and the coder's suddenly became apparent. In the early days of the Web we did a demo for a senior manager of a new interface. He had never used a computer - as was quite common back in those days. He heard about it with some puzzlement and then asked us to print it out. We looked at each other and you could see everyone wondering how on earth they were going to explain that this just wasn't possible... That whatever we handed over on set of A4s was not going to be what we were talking about. -- Sent from: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/Revolution-User-f278306.html _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
