Thank you for those suggestions; they're great! The tutorials are definitely going to get more options and the questions at the end of each chapter will become way more interactive in a future update! The 6 in 03-04 should be "boolean" and you're right about 03-13. Again, thanks! :)

Great! The setting should definitely work with K-12 kids. Thanks a ton! :)

That's a hot topic, haha! Anyway, I really like this quote: "I'm sure there are still COBOL programmers out there, but I wouldn't want to be one of them."

You might have a point there. Thanks for pointing it out!

Thanks! Now that we're into Java, we might delve into COBOL. I'm kidding, we'll keep you posted on our future plans! It'll be something useful, that's for sure. :)

Thanks! Accessibility is still a big issue and I think that, yes, bite-size tutorials like ours are a great way to lower the "barriers to entry" - especially for non-technical people. The relatively small screen size of phones has an impact on the functionality of the programs we can show in Javvy but we're getting there!

At the moment, we've got one more app on Swift (http://swifty-app.com) but, sure thing, other languages are going to follow!

You can totally skip over the basic chapters and polish up your knowledge about OOP concepts and the like. Also, we'll keep adding more advanced stuff!

Thanks! We'd definitely love to see more people get "fluent" in Java.

Thanks! It means "made more fun" but it's not exactly an official word. But as soon as it becomes one, I'm gonna claim that I coined it! ;)
