]]> Comment on Seth Godin: 2001 and 2011 aren’t all that different. by john personna http://blog.milesskorpen.com/2012/01/01/seth-godin-2001-and-2011-arent-all-that-different/#comment-160 john personna Mon, 02 Jan 2012 21:53:10 +0000 http://blog.milesskorpen.com/?p=530#comment-160 So, may I ask, "learn to program" in what sense? Some people are looking for an exposure, and some people seek "production quality" code (profit or non). There are different paths to each. Just had an interesting exchange <a href="http://mostrom.eu/blog/2012/01/02/should-everybody-learn-to-program" rel="nofollow">here</a> about whether "everybody" should really code, or if there really is "an app for that." Anyway, as an old time programmer (30 years), with a learn to program page, I'd be interested in your goals and plans. I think there are quite different road maps appropriate to various goals.

Probably won't put too much work in progress stuff here, but we'll see what the team's policies are on that kind of thing. Will definitely from other apps.

Any time there's buttons or navigation though, the size needs to bump up. Path has a small button in the lower left that works because you instantiate it with a swiping motion. The smiley face buttons always trip me up though. I think it largely depends on the utility of the app. If it’s designed to be skimmed, then dense is fine — our retina displays work just fine.

I've settled on using my wonderful microsoft laser mouse for most things but scrolling and panning and other gestures with the trackpad.
