I learned RoR and launched a website in 10 days. If you want to see the tutorials I used I wrote a blog post about it here: http://aschuenemann.com/i-went-from-knowing-nothing-about-ra...

I visited NYC a few months ago and met someone who just moved to Manhattan from Boston. I asked about how she found a place to live and she said it was the worst experience she's ever had. She said that it was impossible to find apartments

Regardless of what Google does within its own platform, he still compared what Google did on iOS to what Apple did on iOS. FWIW, I have Android and when I downloaded and launched Hangouts it automatically logged me in. I assume iMessage was

Thanks, yeah I released the app and have been adding stuff at the same time. I wanted providers to be able to list their own app so they can have an account and upgrade it when things change. I hope to have several hundred over the next cou

I am trying to tailer API For That to be more of a social, wiki-like site for APIs. In the future I plan on adding following options, standardized documentation, wiki-like editing of public APIs, etc. Thanks for the mockup tools suggestion!

Thanks! I'll add those to my todo list.
