This is great. BASIC was the first programming I learned as a six year old kid. I never knew Einstein’s collaborator came up with it.
Read parts 2 and 3 as well.
I did a much earlier version of this course about ten years ago. It was Objective C and AppKit. A Swift and SwiftUI version sounds like a lot of fun. Need to make time for it.

I was familiar with most of these.
The whole program uses up 256 bytes. This description I just typed uses up about the same amount of memory.
Neat little tool.
This is interesting only to programmers - actually very important for programmers to read and understand. There is huge confusion and complexity and baggage when it comes to properly dealing with multi-language strings in software. This tries to establish a good path going forward.
The good: it's funny.
The bad: I don't know many girls that would get the jokes.
Nice intro to Mercurial, a distributed source code control system. If you do ANY type of coding, even HTML, and you use no source code control system, then you're an idiot (or just very uninformed). Mercurial is free and seems very easy and straightforward to install and use. It also appears to be very powerful. I will look into it for my personal projects.
I linked to this years ago. Things have changed. Java is dropping and Objective C has done the unthinkable: It passed C++!!! And that sucks because C++ is my strongest language.
Want to learn Cocoa? This looks like a good place to start. Perhaps I'll play with it a little.
