Just came across a great quote by Chris Crawford….
“What we need is a means of democratizing programming, of taking it out of the soulless hands of the programmers and putting it into the hands of a wider range of talents.”
(p.359, The Art of Interactive Design, 2003)
That’s right along the lines of what we’re trying to do with our book due out in December. We’ve put up a website for the book: books.minkhollow.ca. There isn’t much there yet beyond a brief overview and the table of contents, but this is where we will post color versions of the images, code snippets, and other resources to go with the book.
“soulless hands”? what a terrible metaphor!
