> working with advance web service consumption. From a strictly technical perspective, I can help you here. Others have already done the hard work. Here's TouchCode for parsing just about everything: http://github.com/schwa/touchcode http://github.com/schwa/touchcode Here's ASIHTTPRequest for pulling down any file from anywhere: http://allseeing-i.com/ASIHTTPRequest/ http://allseeing-i.com/ASIHTTPRequest/ And here's MPOAuth for OAuth: http://code.google.com/p/mpoauthconnection/ http://code.google.com/p/mpoauthconnection/ Then go hunting around for things with public APIs. Netflix, Facebook, Twitter, solve a problem there. The rest is getting out there and communicating with people. I've gotten my last two jobs through being part of internet communities (Twitter and HN, if curious). It's about building trust so people understand you're the real deal. It's not easy and I don't have guidance anywhere as clear on that part of it. Worst of all, it feels like luck when it finally happens, so it's hard to give yourself a pat on the back. Are you getting out into the world and talking to people?
