It depends on how you use the list. If you use the list as a pointy-haired boss trying to micromanage somebody's work, that's one thing. But every one of those questions begins a conversation--like you mention with the reply "Why do you say

Terry Jones wrote about the "Web 2.0 Address Book" last October ( http://radar.oreilly.com/2010/10/getting-closer-to-the-web-2... ). It was an interesting concept that I've been following since. But it seems there needs to be a clear case f

I agree. They could have forced it to land as well, simply by getting rid of an engine or two.

Sorry, I couldn't resist. If you read to the end of the article, you'll see why--he specifically called out this title if you'd like to take him out of context.

I can see this being really useful for some simple 3D transitions within web apps, along the lines of the cylindrical date picker in Safari on the iPhones.

6k-8k a month through small-time consulting. I've got one big customer, and two smaller ones. Good work, but it doesn't scale well.

I added ROR at the end of the list, with an "assignment" of making a web app to organize contacts. Do you feel that by that time the programmer will have become bored?

True. But my goal here is to get somebody to learn programming to the point where they could reasonably apply for a job. The question is, would you hire somebody who didn't know "stack, dynamic memory, pointers and so on" if they were willi

The most valuable thing I learned in school, kindergarten through university, was how to learn. If my learning had stopped at the time I finished high school, I would have had only enough to survive; if it had stopped at the time I finished

Strongly reminiscent of John Galt's (and his friends') degrees in Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand--they studied physics and philosophy together. Then then changed the world.

And when they get Swedish, I'm in! The awesome thing is that once the platform is there, they could easily open it up to other languages and get them rolling too--though they might have to really think before diving into languages with a di
