Garrett: Sorry to make you so angry, and yes, I think you did just go off the deep end. And, I'm sure my communication skills are partly to blame.
I have spent more than a little time trying to learn to program in the past. In the 90's I was hired by a local university to write a program with HyperCard that taught children base 10. It was funny and simple, because that was all I could manage, and I did get paid for my labor. All of these years since, I have struggled with my own learning "disabilities", which, I think are rather common, especially for visually oriented artist types. The current programming model just doesn't seem to fit any better for us than does a square peg in a round hole. We always are looking for ways to make things visually. Natural programming types are always looking to do things "verbally". All I have really been trying to ascertain here is whether Revolution will help me to design software systems like I can envision them. Yes, I have done a lot of complaining about programming methods, terminology, lack of foundational material for the programmatically impaired, etc. Somehow that gets interpreted to mean, (for people like yourself), I want everyone and everything to do it for me, or that I don't want to learn; which is exactly the opposite of what I am trying to express. I simply want a tool that I can educate myself with, needing nobody's constant assistance. Creative and learning independence. I get frustrated when, everywhere I look, with a detailed eye, at various programming environments, there do not exist learning resources that start from the very beginning and approach the subject visually, instead of verbally; with lots of acronyms and buzzwords thrown in to make it even more difficult for the new learner to understand. Be "pissed" if that truly makes you feel better. I meant no personal offense. Remember, nobody forces anybody to read a post that wastes their time.
