Can you expand on your curiosity? I’d love to respond. For me, there is absolutely no doubt that TBX facilitates thinking: multiple lenses/views of data, automation of repeated tasks, and friction where necessary. Take a look at last week’s meetup. As I was preparing the talk I started mapping out the terms and concepts that I’ve learned along the way. At first pass, this may seem really daunting, but I think that is mostly because I had to figure it out without a roadmap and an infinite amount of support from @mwra and the community.
Now/we know how to teach Tinderbox. Honestly, the Tinderbox part is straightforward—learn HTML, CSS, RegEx, incremental formalization, transclusion, and the basic action code syntax, and you’re good to go. The hard part is being willing to unlearn what we’ve all been through from word processors, spreadsheets, and presentation software (output software)—there is a better way. It is Tinderbox (input software). Work your content in input software; make it pretty(er) in output. Tinderbox can actually do a GREAT job pretty, too!
Once I get back from Bhutan I plan on putting together a course.
