Hub - WhileDo

Another day, another post hub. This time it's about the difference of writing HowTos vs. WhileDos as expressed in Write Like You're Ron Jeffries:

Texts like this are very different from how you'd write a "how-to": Everything is out in the open. Things that are unclear are not hidden. The meandering pace of solving a problem, of how ideas develop and how people create are not replaced by the slick surface of the perfect how-to in which everything seemed to have worked on the first try, was clear from the beginning. Jeffries' texts on the other hand document the doing in the making, learning in the making. It makes it obvious that that which is presented is very often not how it was derived.

I have written my own notes that try to do this:

• Write Like You're Ron Jeffries
• More Description
• A Small Step

I have also written reflections about coding after the fact that I group with these posts, even though they are not exactly "WhileDo" per se:

• About Permutations
