I agree with rileymat on Visual Basic, version 6 especially. Combining that with partly made apps lets people learn the stuff incrementally as they need it. You don't need to know the IDE past step-by-step instructions on adding, compiling, etc. People even temporarily dodged the debugger with the dreaded, but useful, debug-by-print-statements method. The 4GL's like WINDEV made this more the case. We saw it on the command line side with COBOL. That and what happened with 4GL's in general should be a lesson that whatever we build for new users better (a) be consistent with more powerful stuff, (b) easily integrate third-party code, (c) be easy to port, and (d) do good practices by design in case we're stuck with it for 50 years. :O |
