Hi Jim,
If you spoke with him for 30-minutes yesterday, then you probably have not missed anything and I am the one who misunderstood his post. ;-)
--Well, to clarify, it was a text-based chat as opposed to a phone-based one, so I might well have missed something! :-)
None the less, and in light of what is now my obvious misunderstanding aside, it did cause me to think of when I first started with Rev and as I said in my post: "... But you raise an interesting point... assuming there are programmers who know how to program in other more traditional programming languages... you need to focus on the lay of the land first... this applies to not just your fellow teachers, but all those we expect to embrace revlets and revTalk..."
--That's why I thought it was neat that Mark Wieder did his little VB <--> Rev cheat-sheet in the new screensteps lessons.
I stand by this, even if it wasn't what Alejandro was asking. And in writing my "misguided" response, it made me realize that this is probably the single most barrier to mass adoption of revlets by programmers of other languages. However, it is certainly not an insurmountable barrier, and in fact, a very addressable one.
--Indeed. We need more cheat-sheets for those folks!
As to teaching kids, you'll have to speak to my wife who is a "certified" K through 12 and special needs school teacher. ;-) She was previously, for 18 years, a Systems Engineer with IBM in charge of Education Systems and installing computers in the classroom here.
--Nice! Best, Judy _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
