A Small Matter of Programming
Perspectives on End User Computing
Book •
In 'A Small Matter of Programming', Bonnie Nardi argues that end users should have more direct control over computational resources.
She suggests creating task-specific programming languages that are unambiguous and straightforward, allowing users to express task semantics effectively.
The book emphasizes the need for understanding users' tasks to design effective end-user systems, often using hybrid visual/text systems for better interaction.
