A RESTful Micro-Framework in Go
After reading countless articles about the wonders of Go, I wanted to learn more.

I have started code reading groups at the last two companies I’ve worked at, Etsy and Twitter, and some folks have asked for my advice about code reading and running code reading groups. Tl;dr: don’t start a code reading group. What you should start instead I’ll get to in a moment but first I need to explain how I…

Meanwhile, at code.org
In Mindstorms I made the claim that children can learn to program and that learning to program can affect the way they learn everything else.
