This is certainly nice. I have had a chance to play around with "Scratch" and lego like programming interface to teach programming concepts to teens and gaming concepts to programmers.
It is wonderfully intriguing to tie the idea to productivity applications. I don't believe it will replace the programming need. But who knows once you go in a new direction it may open doors that no one new that existed. "Creativity" is the goal of programming. Less programming the better as long it ensures freedom and creativity May be this year for the 1 week camp I will try this instead of Scratch Thanks for bringing to attention here On Mon, May 23, 2011 at 8:23 PM, B Lyon <bradfl...@gmail.com> wrote: > I think some folks will probably do some cool things with it. > > On Mon, May 23, 2011 at 8:20 PM, Miguel Morales <therevolti...@gmail.com> > wrote: >> Sorry, that was a bit too brief and actually not completely related. >> But, what I meant was that because of the layers of non-complexity the >> browsers and app makers provide there are limits to their use. >> Even though a browser implements javascript and you can do many things with >> it, it's non complexity adds layers/paths of cpu instructions. >> So, to clarify my statement, being good at programming is ultimately the >> most desired skill.
