3K views · 16 years ago · demo · intermediate · dated

An Adobe MAX 2010 sneak peek on the typography of code. It shows prototype ways of applying typographic principles to how source code is displayed in an editor.

HN keeps it in lists of early work on code typography and visual presentation of programs.

Just to add to this discussion, some quasi-related links with regard to visual presentation of code: • Experiments in Code Typography (McDirmid, Microsoft) link • Typography of Code (MAX 2010): ▶ this video (alternate recording: link) • Elastic tabstops: link Of course, there's also numerous projects with more significant visual representation, like Blockly, Scratch, flow programming, etc. And, of course, real-time feedback/simulation is another arena of usefulness e.g, link Bret Victor's works, etc. But, I digress.

Hi Josh, You might want to check out this LTU thread: link You can find much old work on code typography linked there, like ▶ this video link link I'm kind of disappointed (but not surprised) that you didn't try a proportional font for code...it is my mission in life to banish fixed-width fonts from the earth.
