uptonic: Web design requires an understanding of code for the same reasons Ive must understand the properties of metal and glass to make an iPhone.

on 30 Aug 10...shouldn’t your staff be…working? Also, if people are interested in this…can’t they get it on Twitter?

on 30 Aug 10@Kev: Thanks, fixed.
@Kevin: An occasional Tweet doesn’t prevent people from working. And this is an edited look at a few select posts as opposed to making people scour hundreds of individual tweets. So that’s why we present it here.

on 30 Aug 10Personally, I appreciate this – I am not on Twitter and don’t want to be. I find this particular post useful to get some of the material the 37s team is no longer posting here that they might have before Twitter came along.
Thanks for posting this…

on 30 Aug 10Ah, Smalltalk. I loved it. I think it’s brilliant. Its mistake was to look too different from C. Sigh.
Strangely enough, I also have fond memories of Scheme (LISP).
