Coincidentally I am certified in .NET development (MCSD.NET) and Java development (SCJP and SCWCD), and now I do iOS and Android development. It's possible!

I used to be irritated by the number of "welfare moms" I see around town with smartphones. Certainly they should focus on their shoddily-clothen children first, right? Well I shared that thought with my brother, who has more exp
