Thanks for the encouraging words everyone!  

I will look into the Google Translate option, its something I haven't 
investigated before.

David and I have this idea for the videos that it would be really cool to get a 
whole collection of them hosted as part of this book. Different languages would 
be great, and of course it might be very interesting for the students as 
different people are going to explain the concepts in different ways. The way I 
explain something may not click with a particular student but the way of you 
you explains it might.  

Phil: I'm looking into some kind of a timer for the Skulpt environment that may 
solve the infinite loop problem. For now we'll just rely on closing the tab or 
refreshing the page.

Carl: Exercises akin to codingbat.com are already on my todo list.

This is definitely just a first iteration, I think there are lots of 
interesting things yet to come.
