It's the wave of the future! Actually I have absolutely no idea, but I do enjoy reading about programming and such so keep me updated, especially if you come up with any fun projects to do with whatever you decide on. COBOL!

I've also been interested in OCaml (and by association, F#). In my mind, I'm also interested in evaluating Erlang as a replacement for C++ in certain MMORPG server processes, but in actuality, that ain't happenin' here. I heartily endorse watching this talk by Rob Pike (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=810232012617965344#) and then picking up Stackless Python. The threadlet-and-channel model for doing Hoare's Communicating Sequential Processes is, I think, the programming abstraction of the future. I'm still skeptical of some basic things about Google's Go, though, so I'll stick to Stackless. I'm honestly still trying to get the knack of thinking that way, but I think it can be incredibly powerful.

I remember the TI-Basic stuff. Well, not remember. Just remember using it. I'd almost say go back to one of the older ones (C, C++, PHP, Obj-C) and learn it really well. Unless you use them from day to day still. In which case, I don't know. Oh man. I remember the TI-Basic stuff. Well, not remember. Just remember using it.

I loved your talk. My little bro listened to it too. As someone inundated by Powerpoint presentations, thank you for being an excellent and interesting presenter, both auditorily and visually. Sometimes at school, I fantasize about Powerpoint never having been made. But it is truly the presenter, not the program, at fault. Remind me to ask you about that Dwarf game. Shane!

But it is free and interesting and certainly worth checking out. They do a lot right, but a lot wrong. I'm happy to discuss in more depth at some point. :-) “Recommend” might not be the best word.

I actually liked how fast you talked - coupled with the animation in the slides the presentation kept my non-video-gamer interest. Do you recommend Facade? Thank you for posting this presentation!

I don't feel qualified to comment on the content but I, novice that I am, was totally engaged. I think my main criticism is an aesthetic one: I think the slide background you chose is a distractor, but I'm not sure why (maybe it's the texture? Maybe I need more sleep?) I am getting that Christensen book you recommended asap! Loved the talk, Shane!! I don’t feel qualified to comment on the content but I, novice that I am, was totally engaged.

You just used a mutex to describe a personality quirk. That's pretty fantastic. Thank you guys for coming! I feel like the conference (and definitely the post conf drinking, games, and feedback) were categorically better because you guys came. I seriously hope you make it back next year. Holy crap.
