I'd personally suggest looking at Python as a first language. Others here will suggest Ruby (esp with the mention of LISP) or Perl. Of course there are many others to suggest but that trio has a good enough balance of power, complexity and

You are right. Publisher and "The company behind" do not necessarily equal "maker of". Perhaps I should have instead posted the Reuters article titled "Electronic Arts to buy Chillingo for $20 mln". http://www.reuters.com/article/idCNN20

I have to question your reasons for making a stand just now on the re-implementation of standard website features throughout the proliferation of diverse web publishing systems. It's been quite a ride since the first CMSs decades ago but t

I believe he was referring to those who built and those who currently maintain Wikipedia. It is likely that those individuals set out not motivated by money but for some ideology, a "dent" in the universe. I would assume the NSA releases t

I don't believe the man in this story had any idea what he wanted apart from escape, escape from her, his kids, his job, perhaps his mortality. He could be described as a victim of his emotions. I think she was right to identify this as n

I found some context for this after searching around a bit. A potential new Perl programmer goes to #perl and is told that Perl 6 isn't Perl then goes to #perl6 and is told Perl 6 is the new Perl but if they want to Get Things Done they sho
