Thanks for your interest in my old article! That version is a draft update of this article: Brad A. Myers. "Visual Programming, Programming by Example, and Program Visualization; A Taxonomy," Proceedings SIGCHI '86: Human Factors in Computing Systems. Boston, MA. April 13-17, 1986. pp. 59-66. http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~bam/papers/chi86vltax.pdf

Looks like the linked PDF was a draft (see Brad's comment) Here is the link to paper with figures http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~bam/papers/chi86vltax.pdf

The journal version (1990) is a slightly updated version from the CHI Conference version (1986).

I thought it was funny, to read about Visual Programming, without actual seeing any visuals.

Have you been made aware of any interesting later developments? How do you view the current landscape, eg. minecraft, scratch, blockly, kodu, etc.?

Are you still interested in visual programming? If yes, I would appreciate having a chat (I develop a visual programming tool).
