Ask Jon Skeet about:
Thanks everyone - this was a lot of fun, albeit tiring.
I'm sorry-not-sorry for being repetitive about diversity and the importance of communication skills. (If anything, I'm slightly surprised I didn't bring feminism in more.) Treat the repetition as a signal of their importance to me :)
Hi Jon, If you ever see this, how would you recommend starting contributing to open source if you have basic programming knowledge? Thanks
Is Stackoveflow creating hordes of copy and paste programmers, hindering truefull education or is it the other way around, that is complementing education?
Is a book these days, where there's competition by other mediums at large, like video lectures/mooc's, still considered a viable option? Have you considered using those newest mediums for teaching ?
When writing a book as in your C# in Depth, how do you strike the balance between recycling old material and covering the language's newest features? For example do you leave out stuff that was done in a particular way under an older C# version since under a newer version alternative ways of going about the same thing have been introduced?
What essential books do you recommend that are related to programming?
Cause everyone asks this (or similar) of me...
What's the future "promising" programming language, framework, OS, platform(s) that are on your horizon?
I know you've done quite a bit investigation into LINQ in the past. I'd love to hear your thoughts on Reactive Extensions
Do you have any suggestions on Function programming techniques that would be beneficial for C# developers to learn?
Hi.
How do I integrate TypeScript into every layer of the MERN Stack (i.e. MongoDB, Express.js and Node.js, not just ReactJS) using the MERN.io repo?
Thanks.
I've 5k rep points on stack overflow. It's an interesting platform. I've noticed that answering some questions pay dividends better than others (... better title, better formed questions, etc). And providing a thoughtful, complete, and humble answer is key (IMHO). What other insights have you gleaned from your experiences? What do you think is the most effective way to rack up those rep points?
What's your take on the recent Blockchain bubble? Have you coded or wish to code a decentralised app?
What are some of the future features of C# that you're most looking forward to ?
Which editor do you use?
Curious to know your Compare & Contrast between "Angular JS" versus "ReactJS" THX.
Hi Jon,
A very serious question! Do you like pineapple on pizza? Why, why not? 👨💻🍕🍍
What's Your Take on WebRTC?
What's Your Advice for a Startups Worldwide other than Bay-Area, especially from India.
Hi, Nikos from i-programmer.info . What's your advice to beginning programmers.Should one get to learn Java or C#?, looking at the matter both career prospect wise as well as programming language capabilities/style/framework wise.
Hi Jon. I wonder about "java vs c#" thing. You work for Google, how does it come with such huge C# background to work in a Java/Python/C++ company? Do you use your .net skills at work?
What's your attitude to Java? Do you know it? If not are you planing to start learning?
Is there any chance Google turns to C#/.NET world?
Thanks!
If you could say one thing to someone new to programming. What would it be?
What effective approaches or techniques do you suggest to study and master a certain technology? Like, for example C# or CSS.
