I would use www.webflow.com to build your pages, and then take the output CSS, HTML and JS that it exports and upload that. You could probably make a static CSS and a static JS that works for all of your pages and then just reference that i

Exactly this. Be careful.

Or just talk to the neighbor - solve both problems without dealing with authorities and being an evasive asshole

I work as an iOS engineer, and got my job 2 months after graduating with an Art degree and a minor in advertising. Your degree really doesn't matter - just get one and become really good (work at a professional level) at something at t

Ask about almost everything. Workflows, who to talk to to make things happen, etc. Seriously, ask about everything. It doesn't make you look bad (unless you keep repeating the same question and don't get any work done).

I'm not sure how much I'd pay since most of the web stuff I do is toy anyways. However, I think there's a big market for this - just like I think there's a big market for this for natively developed apps as well.

I absolutely think about clean and quality code. The easiest way to do it, in my opinion, is to write the most customizable and modular code from the beginning. Because, inevitably, mid-project you'll want to use something you've

When you're battling with semantics to skirt by underlying truths and morals, you should notice there's a problem. Maybe I'm alone in this sentiment however.

People just expect 10 Heroku dynos to handle the load when that's not even close to necessary haha.

Which is unfortunate, cause a site demo would be great to see when everyone has their interest piqued. Hopefully we'll see another Show HN when they actually launch.

Exactly - they're my favorite to sketch and jot down ideas in and totally worth the investment in the short term.

Obviously it's not, but their documentation is by far the most extensive - even community support amongst devs for the language is higher than Android.

Exactly. I'm sure it's because they won't have one ready for the holiday season, less because they aren't working on one. It would be foolish not to at least have their hands in the 4k display game with their vertical in

Going off path can be beneficial too - exploration is great and you can make Bob Ross pleased with happy accidents in your development.

This is the backwards version of contract-to-hire.

Exactly. School's great for finding the unknown unknowns - a useful tool even if you're going to teach yourself everything outside of school regardless.

2012 MacBook Pro non-Retina with a 2.9 dual-core i7, and upgraded to 16gb ram and a 120gb SSD. That's my main computer. My college was selling 2011 macs for 1/2 off last April as a "fire-sale" kind of thing where they cl

You are reading waaaay too much into this.

by bennyg 13y ago
Exactly my guess too. There's no way they make a Mac Pro that can make a 4k display look good without making one themselves. My guess is after Christmas though, maybe a Spring event of some sort.

Unless that ad doesn't knock the Deepwater Horizon down past the fold, and it paints BP in a terrible light. It can go both ways.

by bennyg 13y ago
I would just upgrade the RAM and put an SSD in there and you should be good for a while. Drooping an SSD in mine was the single biggest upgrade I've done for productivity and battery life.

That looks pretty interesting. I'll have to show my dad this stuff - he's a cartographer that specializes in Adobe Illustrator and makes large print maps. He's been looking at easy ways to transition to the web while maintain

Maybe I'm a bit biased as a more seasoned iOS dev, but I think that the entire development experience for iOS is a lot more fun than Android. This runs the gamut from using Xcode and contributing to the community, to launching apps and

Just checked iOS - no funky reviews there, just a load of people saying how the app is broken.

If you can maintain a competitive advantage while open sourcing your code, then I think it's better to do so. I mean your whole shtick is teaching people to code - so open sourcing follows naturally from that. Keeping up competitively

Just learn both at the same time. That's what I'm doing right now with various side projects.

As for the first part of your question: a portfolio and subsequent small code test with them doing it live in front of you should give you a basic understanding of if they know how to code or not.
