The only way to learn a new programming language is by writing programs in it.

If we wish to count lines of code, we should not regard them as "lines produced" but as "lines spent."

Programming languages, like pizzas, come in only too sizes; too big and too small.

A programming language is like a natural, human language in that it favors certain methaphors, images, and ways of thinking.

We flew down weekly to meet with IBM, but they thought the way to measure software was the amount of code we wrote, when really the better the software, the fewer lines of code.

I wanted to make an explicitly educational comic that taught readers the concepts I covered in my introductory programming class. That's what 'Secret Coders' is.
