I'll argue that not everything about this is "sad". Knowing JavaScript opens new opportunities when it comes to the kinds of products you can develop and kinds of audiences you can reach. You don't have to look at it as a burden. JS might n

The argument for ditching dead tree books is especially valid for books that have short shelf half-life: the ones that deal with quickly changing topics, such as technology. By the time that "Programming for iBlahBlah 1.2" appears in the ne

The Google giveth and The Google taketh away... Moral of the story: diversify your income stream as much as you can. I don't know much about advertising world, but it seems that AdSense is a bit of monopoly, and that sucks. Random idea for
