Well I've poked around through some different listings, roles, etc, and I'm a bit surprised that there are so few data mining roles at various oil and gas firms. One would think seismic data mining would be a huge area. I'm quite interested

Only looking to learn. If I enjoy the process, then making I'd like to make some cash but, it's unrealistic of me to want to make money off my first application.

That's cool. I'll take a closer look at it. I appreciate the response. Good luck with your firm!

I haven't looked too closely at their tutorials. Last I looked they seemed pretty simplistic. Do they actually teach you objective-c? I saw maybe 3 or 4 pages of actual teaching, and then saw a link to some example, at that was it really...

I like the idea. I really do. But doesn't twitter do a lot of this already? Good luck to you.

I disagree. We have no idea what is in the pipeline. Every time I have heard Tim speak about his 'vision of Apple' it seems quite similar to what Steve had in mind. We have no idea what sort of products they have in the pipeline. They have

I don't know anything about this writer but, it is his take on the Surface. I'm not really expecting journalism. It's not consumer reports. It's TechCrunch.

This may work among programmers, software developers, etc. But in other more structured environments [management consulting, public accounting, I-banking, etc] a 40 hour work week will almost never be the norm. Sure, more resources could be

I completely agree. They have yet to truly add value to their service that enriches my experience with their product. Coming up with more ways to sell advertisements is not a sustainable business model. Well, it could be, but I would hope t

I work for a big 4. No, I don't make more money, particularly taking into account the number of hours I work during busy season. That said, if you're a CPA and you're good with VBA, you're in a good spot.

And in other news, water is wet. Salary postings are link bait for the most part.

Jeez. How do I become the guy that requires 2M to stick around? Are these often irreplaceable programmers or are they typically product management types?

I think that's part of the problem though. These courses really don't give me the confidence or the framework to develop projects around. That said, I'm just doing a bunch of different courses until I get that AHA moment.

I'm not quite at your point yet, but I'm getting close. I've taken a class in Java, built some simple programs like an address book etc. Then I journeyed into python, ruby etc. Nothing really struck a chord with me until python. In any case

I would hardly call this "rich people problems". I know many who make roughly 60-80K a year, and I would certainly not call them rich, and they still purchase cars with a sticker price of 50K. Is it a wise decision to make such a purchase?
