apps is short for applications, a term that goes back many years. they are also called programs, utilities and various other things.Eric StevensEric Stevensnospam
I was astonished at nospam's narrow view of architects writing apps.
what narrow view? do you think architects are going to write operating systems now? the vast majority of programmers write apps.
I will agree with you if you mean 'apps' in a wider sense than the current common use.
some might realize there could be more money in writing apps than designing a building.nospamEric Stevens
they might take a programming course to learn the basics, but that's about it. they don't need to know how to program.
Most of them won't but some will lap it up and go on to great things.
what for?Eric StevensnospamSandmanEric Stevens
To some extent, that's quite true. But we're discussion your claim that an architext "have to" understand programming (see above). My claim is that no - the don't "have to" understand the first thing about programming.
Are you instead suggesting that the programmer has to understand architecture?
he does if he's writing an architecture app.
And I maintain that if the programmer is writing his app for an architect the architect should be able to understand programming.
