Re: programming types versus non-programmers.
I think we make far
too much out of this point; especially people who
are new to
*programming*.
If we want to visit *customised trading land* the
experience will be
a lot more enjoyable if we learn the language.
The
more effort we put into learning the language the more at home we
will
feel there.
We could already learn Ami language with what was
available.
The Wizard etc are learning tools that will speed up the
process and
make it more enjoyable for new starters; that's all.
There
is nothing more to it than that.
Also, we all learn in different ways
and a large proportion of the
population need visual cues to move them
along (according to psyche
studies conducted in modern western
cultures).
The Ami sky won't come falling down because a small amount
of Ami's
development time goes into training features.
Ami is the
program by traders, for traders, and it will always be
that.
The
foundations have been well and truly set in concrete.
What is a
programming type?
It is not a term we can actually define.
If there
is such a thing I would be one of the least likely
candidates and I
wouldn't be doing the things that I am able to do.
You can use Ami
without visiting or understanding all of it, in the
same way that most of
us use Windows, Word or Xcel.
If you want to do sophisticated things in
Ami there are no short cuts
and eventually you have to knuckle down to
learning the language ==
functions and processing rules.
You can
only postpone the inevitable for so long.
It is a good thing that we
have openly discussed Ami's vision because
that shows us where we are
going and puts us all on the same page.
Tomasz, thanks for sharing a
little bit of your vision with us from
time to time.
I always enjoy it
when you do that.
Only give out little bits of it at a time
though.
Never disclose all of the VISION to anyone,not even your dearly
beloved.
It is secret *artiste's* business.

P.S. Good news for some.
I think I will retire Brian the
*Hall Monitor* and Brian the
*Campaigner* and focus more on writing for
the Users' Knowledge Base;
a more permanent *help* feature.
*Guru*
Brian won't retire though; he is around for a long, long time.
However, he
might spend more time in retreat.
