A master’s degree, three years of service as a US Peace Corps Volunteer, two books and an iPad app could be hallmarks of any industrious person. What her résumé doesn’t show are the everyday difficulties she faces with Asperger’s Syndrome (now classified as Autism Spectrum Disorder, Level 1) and prosopagnosia (face-blindness).

The fundamental rules of this process are very simple but provide a vastly powerful means by which adaptation to a particular environment can take place. Evolution is covered to varying depths in biology text books, explaining how these principals influence life on this planet.

In a similar way to Hanson’s previous blog post on fractals, I’ll be showing you how to draw a fractal shape. However this time, I’ll show you how to do it with a custom widget control that can draw the fractal for us.

It’s Hands On Turkish, an EU-funded Business Turkish course that is now available for smartphones on the Play and iOS App Stores. We asked them to share a little bit about their LiveCode experience. Here’s what they said:Â
