Not a whole lot. A little in my UI paper from the last GLGDW, but nothing else off the top of my head.


>BTW, I went looking to see if you published anything on that and came across your article that you posted regarding your journey into programming - interesting! I also have a fairly "circuitous" route into programming - I started off in agriculture and then when doing a Master's in soybean breeding, I had to process tens of thousands of data points from my results - that got me started. Next job that I took (offfice manager, not even closely related), because I was the "new, young guy" who supposedly understood computers (more than the "old guys"), I got thrown into buying them for their office and then got into programming via "can you set up something to track...". I would suspect that a good many of us got into our line of work in a round about way. Anyhow, I enjoyed reading your article.

Glad you liked it. For anyone else interested, it's at https://medium.com/@TamarEGranor/from-patterns-and-puzzles-to-programming-60ac6ae46c73. I have a number of other essays on Medium, as well.
