The answer to that is a qualified yes. The app currently sports 2 modes: a text-only console complete with editors, input log, etc. and a JHS mode which I am currently trying to coerce some graphics out of. I foresee 2 approaches to leveraging this package as as platform: developing GL or tam

Sorry -- you're right, I made no sense. I meant, does your app allow one to write J programs that run under Android? -Wm On Mon, Feb 27, 2012 at 6:12 AM, Michael Dykman wrote: > On Sun, Feb 26, 2012 at 9:50 PM, William Tanksley, Jr > wrote: > > Michael Dykman wrote: > > > >> If I may: I have

There are so many levels to computing now. And it is getting harder to get down to the nuts and bolts levels. Microsoft and Apple, along with virtually every other supplier of hardware and software discourage people from getting down to the basic hardware levels. Looks like the Rasberry will encour

But it's too big and too powerful to teach real programming. To fully understand computers one must be forced to program at no higher than machine language and have to handle the most basic level of hardware I/O, optionally aided by an assembler. Wouldn't hurt to have to do a little microcoding as
