Tushar writes: “since neither Apple or Google require you to release the source code of your app when you submit it for approval, you could hide stuff that activate themselves at the customers end. “
Michael writes in suggesting that the Ubuntu Phone is not targeted at the US market.

“Hi Chris Michael,

Just wondering what your thoughts are on learning/doing desktop apps compared to say web apps. Where do you see the shift or direction in programming going? Do you see more options for website/internet programming (Ruby,Perl, ASP, Javascript etc. ) or is it better to learn a system \”desktop application\” type language such as (Python, C#, Java etc.)

Is Desktop applications still a worthwhile cause?

Thank you for the tips and knowledge.

Tzadik wonders if Michael has seen Java Was Strongly Influenced by Objective-C and asks if we will ever do an Objective-C episode.
Raymii asks if I’ve noticed that e-mail is “stupid to parse” and asks if we think he should take a shot selling his super duper e-mail backing up Python script and, if so, should he use Paypal or the processor that Michael uses for Code Journal

HTML5 went big in 2012, but how are things looking for 2013? With some high profile moves away from HTML5, is the Internet’s darling fading or just getting started?

Plus where to start with game design, playing the app store game, and do we hate Firefox?

And much more on this week’s Coder Radio.

“When I referenced \”beauty\” I meant the design of C++ as a language, and how one can write in it very freely.”

A web developer wants to know why we hate Firefox and sees a trend for web devs to focus on webKit.
Jason asks:

So, here is where I am really stuck. How do you sit down and design something like a game? What tips would you give for actually laying out the design of the code, and the UI that you need? I come from a heavy web background, and have been doing mostly procedural languages for the past 10 years. I have the training in OO, but haven\’t been using the skills.

Mostly, I\’m curious about the design side of apps and gaming. How do you do this so it doesn\’t take on a life of its own, but still gives me the direction I need to move forward?”
