Nifty: Udacity has a HTML5/JS/CSS class that builds a game as the structure of the class.
That's interesting to me because I found so many of the second generation of programmers got into programming via games. Education, is you getting sweet? -- Owen

Which was the second generation of programmers?

Mainly folks who did not start out programming for the sake of programming, but were led to it indirectly.
Possibly better: their first use of computers was not programming. I.e. they did not have to use programming languages in the course work or job, but were self-motivated via, for example, building plug-ins for games or wordpress.

My uncle, an accomplished musician, just told me he started learning Python to apply different chord formations to arbitrary intervals (I do not really understand the music theory, but that is what he told me), and he seems to really like it.

Arlo,
I'd be more interested in hearing about this. In music theory, you can assign harmonies to a given melody by matching the melody note to various degrees of a chord: root, third, 5th, and if you're more creative, 6th, 9th, etc. The trick is to at the same time honor chord-to-chord transitions that make theoretical sense in a given style.
I've been doing this using the digits in peoples' birthdates, see www.yoursongcode.com . There's been a lot of work done at my alma mater (after I left) UNT on algorithmic composition. There are so many variables, however, that I have my doubts that the results of such efforts are consistently aesthetically pleasing, albeit interesting from a technical / complexity point of view.

I will be meeting with my uncle in a little less than a month, perhaps I could give him your email and he could tell you about it? -Arlo James Barnes
