But Google didn't start life that way - they were born a search company. That's what I find so interesting about Facebook at present, here they are, investment in hand and a world of opportunity. From here on in they can choose their own

There's no harm in admitting that you don't know what you're doing, heck it's a healthy attitude to take. It's when you head down the other path and don't acknowledge you're ineptitude or need for education/learning that things start to go

I spent the passed weekend moving my blog off Wordpress to Octopress mostly for performance reasons. Wordpress has become a fantastic feature-loaded CMS. But a blog really doesn't need much of the functionality nor complexity that comes a

Would you recommend avoiding ZAMM altogether for now? Thanks for the link, it'd be rude not to buy a used copy at that price!

Code Formatting - when working in a team on a shared code base it'll aid productivity greatly if you establish a set of formatting standards and stick by them. Ideally you can translate this to an IDE template and automate formatting.

- Were you not aware of Cocos2d / Unity when you started? Or did you think you could do it better? I was aware of it, although not to the extent that I am now. Awareness wasn't the reason for the decision however. The decision was a mix o
