Let's face it, most people do not own a programmable computer. They own

Even considering locked platforms which bar you from getting root
access, the major barrier to people programming is not technology, it's
knowledge.

I'd like to point out an interesting online book for those who want to
delve into javascript as a beginner language. I've used this in
teaching and the students like it for various reasons. One of the
reasons I chose it for teaching is that, unlike most programming
books, it doesn't assume that you

Yes they did that last year. This hasn't had a positive effect on the
Free Software projects that were at Sun, and several Java people have
left, but Java seems to be keeping going at Oracle.
