I always wondered what would happen when the ipad kids grew up. Can't say I expected them to start trying to use it to program.


I started on a TI-83 Plus with a program that helped factor quadratic equations. Before I knew it I was making games on it. What I would have gave to have had an iPad with all that RAM!


Kids in the 80s and 90s used to do that on their home computers (otherwise mostly used for gaming) where that was built-in and straightforward, when they were so inclined. On iPads, it’s not built-in and anything but straightforward.
