Re: [sudo-discuss] Drawing Dynamic Visualizations - A revolution in programming and math

Bret Victor, an Oakland resident, keeps blowing my mind. His latest video is about programming by drawing geometries. Most Mathematicians work in pictures or with their kinesthetic sense, however, programming is algebriac in nature - it is blind symbol manipulation. He argues we have thus far merely emulated old drawing mediums with computer's without utilizing their potential for simulation. http://worrydream.com/#!/DrawingDynamicVisualizationsTalk The site is loaded with gems. Inventing on principle changed my life. His reading list is the finest I've seen. I've read to varying levels of completion about 20 so far and haven't been disappointed yet. It comprises a complete curriculum in winning. http://worrydream.com/#!/Links _______________________________________________ sudo-discuss mailing list sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org http://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/sudo-discuss
