New Episodes

Kevin — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 03:01:27 +0000

Just wanted to let everybody know (who doesn’t follow me on Twitter) that there will be new episodes of Hot Cocoa beginning on August 1st. I’m also introducing a new sort of “spin-off” of Hot Cocoa called Hot Cocoa Basics. Basically every 4th episode of Hot Cocoa will be a Hot Cocoa Basics episodes, teaching the fundamentals of programming and maybe some of the underlying concepts in computer science.

I’m also working on getting the forums back up. The database somehow got deleted and I didn’t notice it in time to restore it from the backups since I only have them for the prior week.
