So far so good… so far the directions include the details that matter (I think ;)). Whoo-hoo! I’ve learned the first Naming Convention for files and classes! It’s like smelling Marge’s cabbage soup and the pink lemonade in it.I am making myself read every word so I can hear the author talk to me. Oh, […]

Let’s just see if *he* has google alerts on his name 🙂 So. I looked for resources for learning Actionscript. Everything seemed strongly tailored to people already programming, already alphageeks or at least in the geek herd.

I went there and put in for an educational upgrade… it’s a place to share links. I have google alerts set to send me when somebody posts about assorted things.

I was contemplating that “part-whole” concept while considering a friend whose concept of money is binary: YES or NO. He can do basic arithmetic but doesn’t like it.

(hey, back in November somebody clicked here! Note to self: start occasionally linking to other folks’ blogs who might notice the odd pingback.) I have been reading stuff from other folks who’ve unearthed and defined some of the “immature models” that people hold to. These folks, and it’s most people, have insane ideas in their […]

Hmmm… previous post should have bene in the bikin’ blog, but who’s counting? http://www.mathacademy.com/pr/ — Dead Link of the Day. It’s not dead, but the news is from 2004.
