I have done no analysis of what my learning problems were because
I failed to keep a log. All I have to go on so far are vague
memories of frustration with Interface Builder primarily but that

I have started to keep such a log now and would willingly
contribute to any endeavour which aimed to make getting into the
system easier than it had been for me.
I would be happy to collate a list of the types of difficulties
people encountered if they were to send them to me. These would
contribute to the analysis. It was this which was my primary
motive for suggesting an FAQ approach because it would provide
exactly this sort of information. The advantage of the FAQ over
the manually compiled list would be that it does not rely on
"impresions" of difficulties but actually documents them as they
occur. So one question perhaps is how to adapt this FAQ to Jon's
suggestion. But I am not wedded to the FAQ idea, it is simply that
I think none of us has much time to contribute and therefore given
the uncertainties of how effective any given approach might be, we
would be wise to choose an approach both easy to implement and
easy to modify as our understanding increases. With regard to
analysis one could ofcourse do a sweep of the problems reported on
this list but given that it takes me a long time to read through
its daily output it is a task I would balk at tackling alone - I
think even a team of ten would find it hard.
Better than a log: put it in blog form. That way you will gather
momentum as others find you and contribute. It also means you can
include screen shots etc.
Thank you.
Thought of it. Rejected it. Thought of it etc.
Now. Definately
Thank you
but have to wait till i get back
Thanks again for the encouragement
Julius
