Actually, the process is just getting started. I'm looking into a variety of paths, but I'm not going to 'really' start the process till I'm 18. From there I will likely go a J-1 route. I would love the O-1, but I'm afraid I don't yet have

I would say pretty much ever designer I know still use Photoshop to design first. I also know that the PSD to HTML businesses do HUGE turn over each year, so I think this is very much in demand.

One thing that may not be too familiar to the Americans, but this looks a lot sturdier (read:larger) because it isn't a swiper like Square. It is a chip reader, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chip_and_PIN

I'm not sure where the 400 number is coming from. It's actually closer to 200 ("Of the approximately 200 applications that Dev Bootcamp received for its first session, 20 were chosen to participate in the program"). This cohort was also 8 w

Out of the 3 from that 20, 1 is continuing their studies, one is looking for a job still, and another is starting his own startup.

I'm also Australian! I'm led to believe Junior developers are at around $90,000. It's hard to say with the level of experience these people have, as it's very much entry level.

The first cohort (Spring) of http://DevBootcamp.com graduated a month ago. It was an ultra successful class, we had some amazing teachers, mentors and fellow students (I was one of them). I've just checked the current statistics and 14 of

Which agency do you use? I need a J-1.
134.
by lachyg 14y ago
Yeah, there are three types of J-1 visas. Internship, Trainee, Summer Work Travel. They're all pretty much tied to your student status. I'm curious how the OP is finding the process, whether he's managed to secure one, etc.

how is the J-1 working out?

by lachyg 14y ago
I think Zynga does it pretty well, and they do it in the same most web apps do it (that get it). You walk people through your web app exactly how they should use it. You make them pass every ideal step before you allow them to move on to

I checked the source of both sites, none of them use any front-end A/B testing services. I think it's incredibly over the top to call this disrespectful. They're great for self promotion, they're great for self improvement, and he is giving

We need details. Do you have a degree, how old are you, how many years of experience do you have in the industry? When did you graduate from university?

I'm one of the graduating students, and I'm more than happy to answer any questions about the program. It has been an intense and emotional journey, and I've loved every second of it.

It sounds like you could look into charging people for listings, but charging them a very small amount e.g. a 55c standard text message. I would also recommend Amazon affiliate linking, this is a big one because it doesn't matter if they bu

I would highly recommend http://devbootcamp.com/ instead. The program runs (officially) 5 days a week from 9AM til 6PM, but most students stay after hours, and you'll often see people hacking away past midnight! The program runs for 10 we
