Go backwards. (Score:1)
Re:Go backwards. (Score:1)
Interestingly I was chatting this over with a friend and he asked if I generally worked from the beginning or the end. Usually I visualise what I want and then start at the beginning keeping the end in sight. He suggested visualising what I wanted and then asking '..what would be the previous step..' and so on. My immediate reaction was that I was not too comfortable with that way of looking at it, however your method now looks quite appealing so I will have a look at it.
It is also interesting that when I was working some of this stuff out on paper I drew blocks to represent the code, so perhaps this may work for me too.
Something else also dawned on me that in my comparison with the way I design graphics I equated buttons in a graphics program with buttons/shortcuts in the the ide or text editor rather than seeing that the buttons in a graphics program as being equal to the functions/methods in Perl
Thanks for the feedback and book reference, I will take a look
