[Air-l] software as text

Hi    I'm Pete Adey a postgrad at University of Wales, Aberystwyth Geography Department. I'm looking at some modelling software and intend to use my interaction and use of the software, or my reading of it, as part of my research methodology. I am relatively new to this subject and was wondering if much had been published on this sort of methodology, reading software as text etc, and if anyone could help by pointing me in the right direction. Many thanks Pete Peter Adey Research Postgraduate G1a Institute of Geography and Earth Sciences University of Wales, Aberystwyth Ceredigion SY23 3DB
