Quoting thomas knoll <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > take a peek at http://hacketyhack.net/
I peeked at hacketyhack.net, and this is what I saw: ===>>> Copy and paste from http://hacketyhack.net/ >>> YOUR FIRST PROGRAM One of Hackety Hack's sincere pledges is to make the most common code very easy and short. Downloading an MP3 should be one line of code. A blog should be very few. For example, our sample blog: blog = Table("MyBlog").recent(10) Web.page { blog.each do |entry| title entry[:title] puts entry[:editbox] end } <<<=== It does not seem likely that a first program like the above one can be understood by a 13-year old beginner - or by any beginner for that matter. Kids can type it, of course, and run things, but do they get a clue? Coding is complex and learning how to do it is complex, no matter what. It can be less complex or more complex but it is always complex. The hacketyhack.net site says: "Downloading an MP3 should be one line of code." Hell, I do not use any code to download an MP3. I just click a link :-) I guess, it is an interesting site, anyway. Thank you for pointing to it. But things cannot be this easy as they claim - like they are presented in 'eat all you want and loose weight' commercials.
