Posting because I had zero context and had to research:
- BNR builds software for mobile / desktop via http://www.bignerdranch.com/software/ http://www.bignerdranch.com/software/
- BNR has become "known around the globe for the quality of the experience we produce", except to me [edit - read RunJake's comment]
- Since 2001 BNR has been running trainings for other programmers and writing well accepted texts on software dev.
- They want to build an actual location, a la 37signals, to host their trainings and develop a "monastery for learning".
- They already secured a loan with which they purchased 13 acres near Fairburn, GA in two transactions.
- They need ~$4,900,000 to build the facility and cover debt, and SBA will lend them 35% of the project at just over 4% interest.
- runjake 16y agoMore background: Aaron is legendary in the NeXT and Apple Cocoa world. He writes the bible for Cocoa programming and has trained many, many Cocoa programmers, including the ones at Apple.
- runjake 16y agoAnd I didn't mean to sound like I was lambasting you. Not everyone is familiar with the Cocoa world. I just wanted to point out that (most likely) the vast majority of objc/Cocoa programmers in the world got started by reading his book (along with Kochan's objc book).
- aresant 16y agoNot at all - much appreciated and good to know!
