The current draft of the PythonCard overview is: >PythonCard brings visual software development on Open Source tools >to the masses, picking up where Apple's immensely popular but >now-abandoned HyperCard product left off. Written entirely in the >widely used and respected object-oriented Python scripting language, >PythonCard enables end users to create applications and interfaces in >a style that is reminiscent of Microsoft Visual Basic without the >baggage of over-complexity for non-programmers. It then enables the >developer with some minimal amount of programming or scripting >experience to give the user's designs life and power through Python >scripting. > I don't find PythonCard (yet, at least) to be reminiscent of VB and I'm not sure that if it came out that way, I'd want to use it! If we intend to abandon the notion that it will be reminiscent of HyperCard, then let's make it either reminiscent of something really good or of nothing at all, I say! -- Dan Shafer, Author-Consultant http://www.danshafer.com http://www.shafermedia.com |
