For programming to start over we need to target the fresh minds of non-programmers, and find a new application domain that isn’t already completely built up.
I’ll be talking about my next initiative at YOW!: Transcript: End-User Programming Of Social Apps.
I’m teaming up with Alex Warth.
I’ve independently arrived at some very similar conclusions. Is this the best place to follow developments?
yes here or the subtext list or twitter @jonathoda
Now that’s a presentation I wish I could see. Will there be video for those who can’t attend?
I certainly hope not! What happens in Oz stays in Oz 🙂
I’m doing another demo in January and will probably publish a screencast then.
Interesting. What specifically are you looking for in the js [erson? A part-time contributor, full-time employee, or … ?
I’m excited to see what you’ve come up with so far. Is Transcript intended to be general purpose or domain-specific? Also, is this your new focus, or is Subtext still happening (or is this just the next evolutionary step)?
I certainly hope for a recording! Like some cruel joke, I live literally 5 minutes from YOW’s Melbourne venue, but I can’t afford a $1000 ticket to come see you (and all the other great speaks) speak. If you shout loudly enough, I might be able to hear you from my house though.
Wow $1000? There’s serious money in this conference racket!
Transcript originated as a conscious effort to invent a Trojan Horse for Subtext. But it is turning out to be a pretty exciting idea on it’s own so the Subtexty aspects have been getting deemphasized and deferred.
