Abstract: A system for teaching computer programming includes a computer, a display connected to the computer, software executable by the computer to generate a window on the display, and a user input for transitioning the window between a first configuration and a second configuration. In the first configuration, the window displays an application. In the second configuration, the window displays a programming interface for the application. The system further includes an editor displayed in the programming interface for changing a code listing related to a parameter of a feature displayed in the application. By changing the code listing related to the parameter of the feature and transitioning between the first configuration and the second configuration, a user is able to observe how differences in the code listing affects the parameter of the feature in the application.

Abstract: A method and system for collecting, aggregating, and displaying type specific content in an inbox like view are described. An inbox manager collects information about data objects that are stored locally and stored remotely. This information may be stored as inbox information on a local computing system. Using the inbox information, the inbox manager creates an inbox view of merged inbox items from the local data objects and the remote data objects. The inbox view is configured to display the inbox items as being merged into a single view regardless of where the respective data objects are stored.
