Some Real-World Uses of Visual Programming Systems
Margaret Burnett, Benjamin Summers · 1994
What kinds of practical uses are people making of visual programming today in the real world? To find this out, we gathered information about users of visual programming systems. The information came in response to a newsgroup posting asking people to report their uses of visual programming, primarily in the form of e-mail directly from users. This information was supplemented with publicly-available written accounts of people using visual programming, newsgroup postings describing people''s uses of visual programming, and queries to vendors. The raw data, sources of information, and numeric summary of the data are presented in this report. We have omitted the names of all individuals and companies unless the information was already in the public domain or we obtained permission to publish their identities.
