I ordered it and have been playing it a little bit and it is kind of fun! Although if you already know some java the begining can be tedious. anyways I think there is only a couple of hours left to be able to get in on it as a backer so check it out I think its pretty cool.

Looks interesting, I sort-of need to pick up Java so I can use my sunSPOT's for something.

Still, while I despise programming, I can pick up new languages/methods pretty easily. I'm considering writing all my code in IBM-spec flowcharts, then passing them off to someone else to type up.

I'm in kind of an odd spot when it comes to programming. I'm in computer science rather than software engineering (some places don't really make a distinction) and I don't really want to code programs at all. I'm actually just interested in computer architecture, the design and math behind data structures and algorithms, and concepts like how to take advantage of parallel programming.

My preferred programming language is... pseudo code! Though when I do need to implement something it's usually either in Java or C++ when I need to use it on the school's cluster of computers. It's fun thinking that somewhere hidden in the school that I have a cluster of 603 computers available for my parallel programs. :) In reality though if I don't think they let me use more than 8 at a time to run a program though.

Prolog and Lisp are both pretty fun in my books too, and I've been looking at Python recently, which looks pretty nice.

I believe this game helps you learn Javascript.

Java != Javascript.

Welcome to geekhack -- where we like to type -- but don't care so much about reading.

You only need to learn the concepts in programming. After that its just learning syntax.
