I'm a semi-professional developer (I freelance when I can), and I'm fluent in Python, Objective-C and Java. I could get by in C, PHP, Ruby or Javascript as well.

It would be better if you made a new post for this in the #learnprogramming tag, it'll save people getting confused :)

The apps I use to browse reddit are Alien Blue on my iPod Touch and iPad, and Reddit is Fun on my Galaxy Note. I actually think both of those apps do a really good job of the comment section, so much so that I prefer to browse subs like /r/askreddit on them. What do you feel is their downfall?

Absolutely! If you post any questions you have over in #learnprogramming I'd be more than happy to help.

Brilliant, let me know how you get on!

Yes, I'd recommend starting with ruby or python (they're fairly similar dor beginners, I know python but only a little ruby). The fundamentals that you learn with them will transfer across a large proportion of popular programming languages.

Are you talking about something along the lines of StackOverflow? If you've never programmed before, I recommend you start small and work your way up. Learning a language such as ruby or python will give you a good insight into the world of programming, while not being too intimidating.

Do you have any experience programming at all?

I'm not sure what mk has / allows access to.

Codecademy is good for getting started, but it has its limitations as you move on through programming.

Jakil, a band who went to my high school a few years back. They play some really good pop-rock, and they're fantastic when performing live.

I actually don't think it would hurt them that much at all. The 'power users' would be the ones to benefit from the change, and 'regular users' wouldn't even have to consider it if they didn't want to.

That's a fair point, but I think there is enough of a difference between hubski and Reddit that the benefits of such "recycling"would be fairly limited.

I, like many others, am always slightly irked by Apple's refusal to let you select a default application. I think that if they allowed this, it could potentially significantly renew the appeal of iOS - it would move more towards being a platform, rather than a launcher for a collection of apps.

In HTTP, when something sends you back a reply to a response, it includes a status code to let you know how your request got on. The "200 range" of HTTP status codes is used to indicate that your request was successful, and I wrote "200 range" only because I couldn't remember offhand what status code it would use (201, 202 etc). Does that help you?
