   I did an Android app ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flatangle.... ) earning me some 80€ since August. Hope next year will be better!

   I would go a little bit further and say that, depending on which language you have your code, you can even use C/C++ to make a bridge between Java and some language interpreter. I've done something like that for integrating a lot

   I'm Portuguese and live near Lisbon (and used to work for a startup in Lisbon). If you're looking for high paying jobs, look elsewhere, as developer jobs here are around 1500€-1800€ / month (* 14 months, after taxes), way bel

   That's what I'll be doing in two weeks.. I started my working career as a teacher, but didn't like it that much as I was teaching smaller kids learning MS Word, Excel and similar tools. Eventually I worked as researcher, fini

    I use flask for a personal project of mine, but instead of Mithril for the frontend, I use http://riotjs.com/ . I find it much more readable for someone who has been working with HTML/CSS for quite some time.

    In practical terms, you can only use frameworks like Kivy [1] to do UI on Android. But the result is completely non-native as Kivy renders its components on top of an openGL window. If you want to use Python and native UI components at the
