Objective C is a superset of C. Why does it need to be ObjC?

buy a book. write code. If you're serious about it, I recommend The Art of Computer Programming by Donald Knuth. You should start with volume 1.

The midwest is home to several excellent computer science programs. Many of the students in those programs desire to move towards the coast (east or west) upon graduation. You may not realize this, but to recent grads (outside of new york)

recent grads from the midwest..? I suppose that depends on what you're looking for with regards to experience. You could always use a headhunter.

I highly mislike word docs for resumes. It provides an implicit assumption that I use MS Word; which is false. I also don't much like the way they look when they're printed. PDF is at least a fairly open standard and allows proper formattin

If you're that worried about piracy, go for free apps with microtransactions. They're more painful to work around.

It sounds like you're a college student; I assume looks don't matter too much for you. Go to a hardware store and pick up some cinder blocks and countertop. Cut the countertop to fit your area, place on cinder blocks.

It is entirely based on their non-compete clauses in their employment contracts. If they are unsure if they are able to help on your project, have them ask HR to clarify it for them. I know some employers pay for _all_ of their employees ti

camelCase vs. underscore_delimited is really a religious preference: use whatever the people you're working with are using.. as far as equal vs. equals: both make sense, but I would favor 'equal' exactly because of this. I don't feel there

by gharbad 15y ago
I agree. You make several statements about explicit lack of features in the description. This begs a qeustion. What, _exactly_, am I paying for? What do you differently from free apps that justifies a cost (and one more than $0.99, too)?

MBP is ideal for working on iOS. It also serves as a reasonable *nix for any non-Win-specific task.. Whether one is worth the cost is ultimately up to you. I do my corporate work (mostly python stuff) on a MBP and I rather enjoy it. I run m

Are you in it for the money or because you love technology/programming?

Care to share anything about your technology stack, or what /type/ of programmers you are looking for?

Do you want to create a product to serve a market, or do you want to learn to code? These, while related, are very disparate problems. I would suggest you find a technical founder that shares your vision for wanting to help make people's (h

I doubt that mobile platforms/languages change as fast as the flavor-of-the-month in the web space.. Looking ahead several years, you're likely to be using a new language/tools regardless.
