Exactly thats the point I was talking about on this list since it has started. Finally I gave up. Thanks that you Dave came up and explained it much better than i could. But, how du you think you (we) can get this in to the head of verbal, left brain, digital and sequential working heads of a programmer?
Verbal learners will love the rev documentation. They learn best by
verbal communication. They pick things up by reading or listening. The
documentation for this type of learner is fabulous.
Kinesthetic learners understand things by taking them apart, putting
them back together, practicing with the parts. Getting in there and
swinging the hammer, pounding a few nails, hands on kind of thing; that
is how they learn best. With rev, they will learn the most as they play
with the cook book, open up the scripts, seeing how they work,
modifying them to see what happens. The rev documentation is OK here,
not great, but it has been improving in this area.
The visual learner needs pictures to "see" how things operate. They learn best by looking at screen shots of what is being talked about, looking at a picture of the icon being discussed, by watching the computer move the mouse on the screen to select the proper menu item, by having a little man pop onto the screen and show him what to do, etc. This type of presentation is essential to a visual learner and is almost non existent in the rev documentation.
----Don't get me wrong, I think that the amount of information in the docs is superb. I also know that adding the visual aspect to the documents will add to their size, but it will open up RR to a vastly larger audience. It will also, I believe, inspire many more people as to what can be done with RR.
Revolution has the tools to have a great learning environment for the "Visual" and "Kinesthetic" learner.
I agree nearly to erveryting you said, but i deleted most of it to make the post better readable
Fantastic post. You have perfectly summed up what is one of our very top
priorities for the next couple of releases of Revolution! Stay tuned for
big improvements.
