Feedback

• Bill from episode 10 asks:

Afraid attaching myself too much into one language maybe isn\’t the best thing for a newbie
programmer. And if i learned many things from a language i despised (java), i imagine it\’s in my best interested to try a new language as well.

Start more projects in C or try some ruby / python / go? (if i go to a new language, i\’m leaning at GO)”

• Kyle asks about the Go language for desktop apps
• Daniel asks “what happened with the Ouya”
