Authoring Interactive Behaviors for Multimedia - Myers (1998) (Correct)
....we are aiming for the language to work in the way that people who do not have programming experience would expect. Why would this make the programming easier One way to define programming is the process of transforming a mental plan in familiar terms into one that is compatible with the computer [8]. The closer the language is to the user s original plan, the easier this refinement process will be. This is closely related to the concept of directness which, as part of direct manipulation, is a key principle in making user interfaces easier to use. Hutchins, Hollan and Norman describe ....
....a musical score, but it breaks down when applied to interactive situations [36] We will investigate other metaphors that might be better suited for interactive interfaces. x When they are stumped, beginners will attempt to transfer knowledge from other domains even if they are not appropriate [8]. This is a problem when the language uses words and symbols in ways that are different from English or math. For example, AND is often read to mean THEN as in: We went to the store and bought milk, whereas in computers, AND is always used between two things that must both be true at the ....
