   "disaster" and "actively harmful" are hyperbole. This is a helpful document for people who want to understand what development from first principles. If that doesn't describe the people you work with that's fin

   I don't doubt that. I even said as much. But one has to understand how to build a web site before they can understand how to build a website for a specific class of individual.

   There are many topics that are difficult and complex, that doesn't mean they're not worth studying and understanding. Just because you take a look at this and think "wow that's too much for me to learn" doesn't

   Please. Most books and articles don't mention accessibility at all. Accessibility is important but is it really as important as understanding http or other main line topics?

   Calling this a disaster is such hyperbole. Anything can be better but the OP's document is a great first start! It's a really good roadmap to learning the technologies that matter for web development in the order that they should

   The first chart is eye opening. Moving from beef to pork is a much bigger win than "eat locally".

   Kotlin is great fun when compared to Java, and having access to years of libs helps concentrate on the business problem. I don't understand what all the downvotes of the parent are for.

    I can't imagine anyone having read everything in this list. It would take more than a lifetime for me at my reading speed.

    As someone else mentioned I should have been gentler in my comment. Thanks for what looks like a great game can't wait to play it.

    Totally justified remark. I was frustrated after trying it. I'll reinstall after the password fix. Thanks for keeping me honest :)

    Uninstalled. Looks like fun but I let Google choose a hard password and there's no way to paste it into the Android app. I tried typing it but had to swap back and forth between apps to get all the pieces of the password. The game clea

    I use Yoda style string comparations in java all the time since they are null safe. But other than that I wouldn't have much use for them because they're more difficult to read

    I looked at the first few Android question lists and the questions were terrible. "What are the four API classes used for sensors?" Are you kidding me?!? I have over 10 years of experience building Android apps and I have no idea

    As a former Boeing software engineer (not on the commercial plane side) I can say without any hesitation that you're completely wrong in your description of what goes on at Boeing. The "bloat" you speak of is the very reason

    Um... cryptokitties? But seriously a lot of people don't think Twitter is non essential. Once in the block chain a message can't be deleted, which could prove to make better discourse.

    Reminds me of crobots ( http://tpoindex.github.io/crobots/ ) a great little game I played many years ago. In it you program your robot in a C like language and watch them compete in a curses based command line arena.
