1984: Using the Macintosh at Stanford
Thousands of Stanford students bought Macs in the spring of 1984. Four friends and I proposed, developed, and taught a 1-unit basic Macintosh class through the Stanford Computer Science department. I wrote the chapters on MacPaint and MacDraw for “Using the Macintosh at Stanford”, our collectively-written textbook.
“Using the Macintosh at Stanford” included chapters on MacWrite, MacPaint, MacDraw, and Microsoft Word, Chart, and Excel.

1986: Approaching Macintosh
After graduation the same teaching team refined and extended the Stanford course material and turned it into a textbook published by Addison-Wesley.
“Approaching Macintosh” expanded on the Stanford Mac class. The book included a diskette of samples. Addison-Wesley had never shipped any media with a book before. Readers received diskettes by mail after sending in an enclosed coupon.

1988: Techno Revolutionary Workers of America
I wrote the “Techno Revolutionary Workers" manual to accompany a two week, off-site Macintosh course I proposed, planned, wrote, organized, and taught for Apple Creative Services.
“The Techno Revolutionary Workers” manual included chapters on common Mac design apps including Adobe Illustrator, Quark XPress, and HyperCard. The two week course had its own brand, visual design program and, of course, T-shirts.
