Subject: About usability From: "Didier PH Martin" <martind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 16 Aug 1999 16:39:48 -0400 |
Hi, Recently I got a good talk with a friend who is not a programmer. He's drawing and is using AutoCAD for his work. To make his life easier he creates small AutoCAD scripts. He pointed me to several links where we can find AutoCAD script language. When I asked him how difficult he found the AutoCAD script he said that at first yes as with everything new and with magazine, examples and work he was able to learn this new skill. For those who don't know, autodesk scrip language is named AutoLisp and is LISP based. Today, ZD net published for the Cad mainstream public an interesting article: Looking at Recursion in Visual LISP To learn about using multi-level programming that helps make LISP programming more efficient, read this article from Inside AutoCAD. http://www.zdj.com/iac/9908/iac9981.htm Maybe Lisp is not so bad after all :-) The next time people talk about DSSSL and usability just point them to AutoLisp and ask them "why is this community is using a lisp based language?", if it is so hard to learn. And why non programmers are able to create autolisp scripts ;-) regards Didier PH Martin mailto:martind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.netfolder.com DSSSList info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/dsssl/dssslist
