This Is The Way We Do It

James Hague on not joining the bandwagon.

 

"If I were teaching a class, and I gave the assignment of "mock-up the interface for a desktop PC calculator app," I'd fully expect to get back a variety of rectangular windows with a numeric display along the top and a grid of buttons below. What a calculator on a computer is supposed to look like is so ingrained that all thought of alternatives is blocked."

 

Pretty much sums up why I strive to do things a little different, while my methods may not always be the most efficient, I'm usually satisfied with finding alternate methods and happy with what I've learnt along the way.
