That talk's definitely a good one. I particularly like how he frames it as a discussion about the difference between value-oriented programming (good) and place-oriented programming (what you're used to, bad). Giving the two paradigms those

Fantastic app, does a fantastic job of recognizing my palm - unfortunately, it seems to also really like my face. After the tenth or so time that it had paused my music without me raising a hand, I realized that every time I turn my right c

What do you mean by "I can't actually do anything with it"? If the problem is that you know what Ruby code looks like but don't feel comfortable enough to build stuff in it: go build stuff in it. Seriously. Just go write some code right now

In Chrome, zooming in on this website makes the layout wider, but the text stays the same size. This is slightly inconvenient. Thanks for the guide, though! Bookmarked.

Yup - that's exactly what I was looking for. Awesome.

Much as I love _why's works, you may have a point - I've been reading through http://pine.fm/LearnToProgram/ on the suggestion of a couple commenters on the post, and I'm pretty impressed so far. I'm going to forward it along to the frien

Well, you've got a few options. Ruby and Python can both meet that get-repetitive-shit-done criterion, but you have to do a little extra work in order to get them install on Windows last I checked (although Ruby offers a one-click installer

You've definitely got some valid points. I think I may be biased toward Ruby and Python because I like programming in them so much, in addition to the fact that I feel that my knowledge of them directly contributed to the quality and quanti

No worries! I wish you the best of luck, and hope to see the fruits of your labors posted on HN one of these days! Also, for a well-worded counter-argument to one of my comments, see rick888's post above ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?
