Don’t Just Document Software, Tell a Story.

Leider ist der Eintrag nur auf English verfügbar.Humans tend to remember stories much better than mere facts, which probably is why storytelling has such a long tradition in human history. Storyteller is - quoting from their own description - an "editor plugin that generates web pages that recreate and animate entire programming sessions" (see this playback repository for examples and the project's GitHub repository for more details). It's an interesting, novel take on software documentation in that instead of merely describing some current ...

Petro Salema – Designing Interfaces That Think @ beyond tellerrand Düssedorf 2015

Leider ist der Eintrag nur auf English verfügbar.Earlier this year at beyond tellerrand Düsseldorf 2015 I had the privilege to attend a talk by Petro Salema. Petro shared his insights about today's limits in human computer interaction, attention span, mental bandwidth and how to address these issues. While the subject matter itself is interesting enough already I've never personally witnessed such rivetting storytelling before. He started his talk with a captivating story from his home country Tanzania about Bwakila, a machete-wielding madmen. This ...

This series and other documents such Dave Haynie's Deathbed Vigil remind me of how far ahead the Amiga was ...
