No Math Skills? No Problem...

[dunbarx at aol.com]

It sounds like a simple application that requires only basic math would be best. The calculator demo is good for this, in the sense that it requires no math at all, only that math functionality be authored:


put fld 1 + fld 2 into fld 3.


>From here I would make a game of it


If fld 1 > fld 2 then answer "Greater" else anwer "Less"


The sky is the limit, except for the commitment and labor involved in doing it.

>From Slashdot post:

Olga Khazan writes in The Atlantic that learning to program
involves a
lot of Googling, logic, and trial-and-error—but almost nothing
beyond
fourth-grade arithmetic. Victoria Fine explains how she taught
herself
how to code despite hating math. Her secret? Lots and lots
of
Googling...

Ok.
Googling, logic and trial-and-error.

How far could a person learn this
platform, LiveCode, just using these
skills: Googling, logic and
trial-and-error?

I have discovered with a lot of surprise that the people who
could
benefit most from learning to program using LiveCode (Teachers
and
Artists), are too scared to begin as a result from previous
"learning
experiences".

How could we show LiveCode as an easy to learn
Programming Tool for
Teachers and Artists?

Thanks in
advance!

Alejandro
