[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] Implementing Software Engineering Tools in HyperCard

dmittman@beowulf.JPL.NASA.GOV (David Mittman) (11/22/90)

In "Designing Object-Oriented Software" by Rebecca Wirfs-Brock,
Brian Wilkerson, and Lauren Wiener, the authors "offer basic design
principles, and a specific design process, that can be applied to any 
software programming effort, even those not using object-oriented 
programming languages or environments." This process involves the use 
of "cards" which define the various system elements and interactions.

I am interested in implementing these "cards" in HyperCard 2.0 on the
Macintosh. Has anyone done something similar to this? Any pointers? 
Anyone interested in the finished product?

After reading a Byte article on an OO design technique that used
index cards (probably the same one, I don't have the article) I
thought about implementing an HC stack as well, so yes!  I would be
interested in the product.
