![]() ![]() ![]() There are lots of other examples, but I doubt if I claimed to have done something I did not do. Again, my work was published, and anybody who wants to see if I really had programmed a graphics system called "Quick Draw" in the late 60s can check it out. in Computer Science from the Pennsylvania. in Philosophy from the State University of New York and a M.S. #Jef raskin mac#It was part of the inspiration of Apple's Quick Draw graphics that Bill brilliantly implemented. Jef Raskin (Ma February 26, 2005) is the human-computer interface expert who began the Apple Macintosh project for Apple Computer and is the author of The Humane Interface, which largely builds on his work with the Canon Cat. Jef Raskin founded the Macintosh project at Apple, which led to the development of the Apple Mac and the popularisation of the graphical user-interface. I had programmed a general-purpose graphics system called "Quick Draw" and Bill Atkinson had taken classes from me in which he learned about it in detail. For example, I suspect (he can correct me if I'm wrong) that he did not know that in 1965-1966 I had developed a graphic input device (reference in my CV) that you could point with and which had one button. One thing that Andy might have missed is that very often I actually had invented things that others also came up with. Gruber thinks it funny to characterize me as having said the I invented the web, then I would find it amusing to see his basis for making that remark. #Jef raskin software#While Raskin doesnt actually contradict anything in my article apart from the origins of the internationalizable Software (Joanna Hoffman in the Mac group), I still feel that there are several corrections that need to be made. One of the problems with these stories and many claims and counterclaims is that most contributors don't have any documentation or do any research. Jef Raskins perspective on the origin of the Macintosh was very interesting. It is also reproduced as an appendix to the "Holes in the Histories" article. You may check it out for yourself either on Stanford University's History of Technology site. ![]() I did write a document in 1979 that pretty accurately predicted what it would be used for. It is still hanging on the wall and prongs me now and then for some more testing.For a well-documented view of why the history of the Mac, and other histories, are so often wrong, please see "Holes in the Histories" on my web site I never claimed to have invented the web. Jef Raskin, the computer interface expert who launched the Macintosh project for Apple Computer, died Saturday at age 61.

I really never got it broke and rode out before I took the radio out for other use. The model was marginal on power and more than a handful to trammel and trim. 2 In 1967, he received a master's degree in computer science from Pennsylvania State. He received a BA in mathematics and a BS in physics with minors in philosophy and music from Stony Brook University. The biplane model was early in the GWS IPS days when much was to be desired in the way of props and batteries. Jef Raskin was born in New York City to a secular Jewish family, 1 whose surname is a matronymic from 'Raske', Yiddish nickname for Rachel. Jef Raskin (MaFebruary 26, 2005) was an American human-computer interface expert best known for starting the Macintosh project for Apple in the late 1970s. The little bench rig in one of the pics is the one I made up to demonstrate the control system and which I sent Jef for review. Rigging and mechanics got a little complicated as the pics show but everything does work fine. JR radio technicians helped me program the Tx so I could couple the amount of wing panel "curvature" to provide +/- lift according to the elevator input as well as differential "curvature" side-to-side for aileron input. He gave me the criteria for the wing and articulated panel shapes and I made up a test model based on my my Gym Flyer design. He felt that combination would be the best of all worlds for the type of models and hardware were working with at that time. He felt that a flat airfoil was almost as good as we can get but that if it could be made with articulated and coupled leading and trailing edge panels we could create the effect of a slight curvature. You can find the eternal tips which origin from great experience and deep knowledge of such famous experts as Paul Rand, Milton Glaser, Alan Cooper, Alina Wheeler, Jacob Nielsen, Jeffrey Zeldman, Jef Raskin and others. I was privileged to have been able to work with Jef on some of his ideas. Here is the set of the quotes by famous experts in the sphere of design of all the kinds. ![]()
