Abstract

An explanation is given of showing a computer what to do by directly manipulating objects, as opposed to giving it instructions using a programming language. The authors demonstrate how showing can take advantage of a standard user interface and the consistency of a user interface paradigm. They discuss prototyping in the Oregon Speedcode Universe, a programming system for writing programs without programming languages.
