As usual I've taken some notes about Smalltalk at OOPLSA and have posted coverage of Alan's talk at http://wiki.cs.uiuc.edu/CampSmalltalk/OOPSLA+2004+Trip+report
Thanks for the notes. It was very interesting. But...
Does anyone else find the car morphic lesson...somehwat counter-intuitive?
Particularly the steering wheel morphic?
If you're dealing with kids who have used computers before, clicking-and-dragging in a circular motion--well, first of all, it's a relatively difficult motion. It's an unfamiliar motion. And it's not an enjoyable motion.
Then there are the ten icons surrounding the morphic, which is rather a lot.
Anyone else find this to be he case?
