Pane, J.F., Myers, B.A., Miller, L.B., "Using HCI techniques to design a more usable programming system", Proceedings of the IEEE 2002 Symposia on Human Centric Computing Languages and Environments (HCC'02), September 2002, IEEE, pp. 198-206. Google
198 ;;Quote: HANDS programming language designed for usability by children, fifth grade or older
200 ;;Quote: avoid ambiguity by requiring a matching terminator for all nested structures; e.g., 'end if' for 'if'
200 ;;Quote: avoid unnecessary notation; common source of errors; e.g., statement separators, parenthesis
201 ;;Quote: concrete model of programming; Handy manipulates information on global, persistent, visible cards
201+;;Quote: in HANDS, all cards have a unique, case-insensitive name; temporary names available
201 ;;Quote: the front of a HANDS card has a list of name-value pairs; the back has a string, number, or image file
201+;;Quote: every HANDS card has name-value pairs for cardname, x, y, back, speed, direction; automatic display and animation
201 ;;Quote: the nectar property of a card named flower is "nectar of flower" or "flower's nectar"
202 ;;Quote: programs are stored in Handy's thought bubble as a collection of event handlers; e.g., when any bee collides with any flower // subtract 1 from the flower's nectar
203 ;;Quote: use "all ..." for queries; returns all cards with that value in any property; ignores trailing "s"
204 ;;Quote: aggregate operator much simpler than normal programming language; e.g., sum nectar of all flowers
204 ;;Quote: temporary name for iterating over a set; e.g., "with all flowers calling each the flower"
205 ;;Quote: if remove queries, aggregates, and visibility from HANDS, only 1 of 9 solved a task vs. 7 of 9 with HANDS
