The Global Film School
"As the film and television production community embraces digitization, it is our obligation as teaching institutions to ensure that the next generation of storytellers are able to work freely, creatively and efficiently in any environment whether that is physically on a film set or virtually at a computer terminal." I'm normally not a big fan of "distance-education" but, at a glance, online film and television studies seems like an endeavour that could become greater than the sum of its parts. What I really want to know, howver, is how the web designers for this site talked their way into using "lateral scrolling" (ick!)
Greg Wilson has been thinking about scripting languages
"Second, I want to see a VHLL defined by an XML DTD ... if a program's source is defined using <method>, <parameter>, and <block> tags, then individual programmers can choose whatever superficial appearance they want. Three different programmers, for example, could view nesting using indentation (Python), curly braces (Perl), or parenthesized prefix notation (Scheme). I believe this would be as big an innovation in practical programming as applets were, and probably more useful."
