Typemock, a company focusing on easy unit testing for coders, commissioned me to develop a new comic strip series focusing on software development. Three installments have already been produced – the first of which is now live on the web.
If you like it, please share the comic with your software dev friends – and, while you’re at it, let Typemock know that you want to see more!

I’m exploring a new technique with drawing today’s comic. Namely, I’m drawing each panel on a separate file (without the template) and inserting the drawings into the panel. The result: My drawings can be more loose and expressive, and I’m able to get better line variation. So I’ll go this route from now on. Working inside a panel all these years has always felt a bit confining. This new approach gives me a bit more freedom, and I like that.
The Mentor Experiment application period is over. I was pleasantly surprised with the tremendous level of interest in my mentorship offering. Rest assured I’ll be going through every entry this weekend and announce my apprentices right here on the blog on Monday.
In other news, I’ve added a “Donate” button underneath each comic. If the PC Weenies are a daily visit and you want to show your support, there’s no better way than giving a donation. Just donate whatever you think its worth. Your donations will help me get to the Small Press Expo, held in Bethesda, MD.
Thanks again for your support!

This year I am making a commitment to learn Javascript, to add some neat tricks to what I’ve learned in HTML and CSS. Programming languages tend to intimidate a lot of people, but I see that it’s becoming even more increasingly important to know how to do it, if you’re trying to be marketable in the tech industry. My big hope is that schools start introducing programming classes at the early level (grades 3 through 5), to get children exposed to how fun programming can be. I could only dream of having such electives back in my school days…
Anyway, hats off to all of you who have decided to take the plunge and learn a programming language this year. In my opinion, it’s never been a better time to start!
P.S. The first PC Weenies book is now available for the Amazon Kindle. Read on for more info!
