Its uniquely easy starting point allowed me to learn how to build applications as a layperson. Today I say with confidence, astonishment, and much appreciation to Apple, that I am a programmer. This could only have been done outside of academia so gracefully through the nurturing qualities of HyperCard. Nearly 1,000 pages of code and 4 years of intense, meticulous development have brought a commercially competitive contact management application nearly to market. The application will be ready for larger beta testing in a couple months.
Teachers can customize the stack and get a printout of students' progress.
And for the classes or schools that have only one Mac in them the teacher can set up the stack as an archive of printable exercises. The print version is laid out properly for the page, while the screen version takes proper advantage of that medium. My school board paid me to develop this stack and distributes it fee to schools. The other good work I've done is a student file management stack. Our adult learners have to finish their courses within a deadline.
