[The Java Posse] Building tablet & phone apps: universal or separate?

I was wondering if anyone had experience or thoughts on whether it's best (from an ease of development point of view) to make separate tablet and phone versions of an app, or bundle them into a single universal app. I guess Honeycomb's Fragments API would suggest universality, but Google doesn't r

[The Java Posse] Is learning languages overrated?

In the past few years, there's been a lot of emphasis on learning programming languages, driven by the Pragmatic Programmer's "Learn a new language every year" maxim and the JVM language boom. It does have a lot of benefits, but I wonder if its importance hasn't been overestimated. Is there someth
