12.5 - 30 hours depending on how motivated I am. I have a 3 hour commute (round trip) with 2.5 hours of that on a train so it is perfect time to work. At night it all depends on my motivation

I'm on a team that is working to build "long lived" software. We are in the beginning phase so there is a lot of changes (we've gone from C# applications to now a micro service architecture using Web API) but once we get

My product depends on WIX, which in turn depends on .NET, so there was no reason not to go with .NET (I started with WinForms but then converted to WPF). Web can be interesting but I just have a harder time coming up with ideas for products

I am, I'm currently learning Elixir/Phoenix and Elm and am doing WebApi work at work. Most of the problems that I want to solve on a hobby/solo project, though, lend itself more to desktop software.

That line really bothers me. I'm writing a new application in WPF (thus using Win32) and am avoiding UWP because of the fact that I want (actually need to) support older platforms. As I'm writing this software to make money and it

>Edge is not a Native UWP application - whatever that means My assumption is that it is compiled with .NET Native[0]. That would explain why it is only available on Windows 10, as only Windows 10 supports .NET Native. [0] https:/&#

I feel like the "Who is hiring" is a poor indicator of tech in a city as it is small sample of developers that use HN.

I live in the Chicago suburbs and work in the city and I'm a big fan of the suburbs (not a big city fan) and would recommend them. The weather sucks (cold winters, humid summers) but there is a lot of stuff to do. As for tech, I'm

Have you tried pre-sales (assuming you're self-publishing)?

by jetti 9y ago
No other real benefits other than the advance, but that isn't specific to Apress. The tooling is easy to use, which I mention because I have heard bad things regarding Mannings tooling when it comes to writing.

I typically use namecheap though I have used others for specific TLDs (rnids.rs for .rs and Web4Africa for .i.ng). I moved to namecheap after the GoDaddy supported CISPA based on recommendations from HN and Reddit. I've had no problems

I started my book on C# and XML back in 2013 doing the self publish route on leanpub. That fizzled out because I just wasn't motivated enough to finish on my own. I was contacted last year by Apress and decided to go with them. Their s

I too am actively moving away from .NET and I'm moving to Elixir. Not expecting to be able to leave my .NET job any time soon but I'm still transitioning for hobby projects.

If it only handles web browsers currently then I think it will be a hard sell. The use I see of this would be in settings that companies don't trust their employees (call center monitoring comes to mind). That being said, they would mo

It isn't that much for a company but that is sure a large amount of money to start an open source project.

You're right, they aren't hidden but not free. Hidden was a bad choice of words as they just aren't available without paying. BizTalk and Websphere documenation on X12 is limited and mainly focuses around the envelopes (thoug

Unfortunately ASC X12 is very good at keeping their docs hidden. I'm fortunate to be able to have the docs provided by work but when I didn't I would just search for the file type and spec (e.g "837 Spec") and would go o

I was interested in COBOL while doing my MS in CS (coming from non-CS undergrad) but the problem was tooling and projects. I gave up after trying to track down z/OS, install hercules and get all that tooling set up. There is more to le

For some "quick" money I'm doing a small Phoenix app that is doing CSV processing/formatting and is going to be an adsense page. I'm looking into doing a full blown Elixir/OTP app that handles X12 EDI parsing&#
