The Moose Apprentice course - day 1

The first day of the Moose Apprentice course is now over.

We:

• jumped head first right into querying,
• used various browsers,
• learnt Smalltalk on the way,
• mapped a couple of problems on queries,
• learnt about FAMIX,
• dived quickly into meta-modeling,
• searched FAMIX to find useful navigation schemes,
• extended FAMIX with a custom query,
• used the custom query to simplify detections,
• played with Mondrian to build several visualizations,
• extended them with interaction,
• noted that analysis is nothing but data transformation,
• constructed nested views,
• extended FAMIX with views,
• learnt about how this tooling fits in the humane assessment method, and
• had fun in the process.

All in all, exciting. I am looking forward to the second day.
