I've only said Cordova works great on iOS. It doesn't work so great on Android, but I wouldn't go so far as saying that every Cordova app is garbage :). For some apps it works reasonably well, for others simply doesn't w

On iOS Cordova works great, not so great on Android (I'm talking about game programming obviously) especially on Android 4.4.

What is the address of your blog ?

Not necessarily similar, just new Sci-Fi novels, I'm familiar with the classics: Herbert, Asimov, P.K. Dick ...

I've read the entire Dune series more than 15 years ago, one of the best Sci-Fi series I've ever read.

+1. I suppose today his call to arms will cover OS X and iOS too. Not sure about Android though. Some people consider Android a free OS, some don't.

You don't have a problem with calls for boycott, do you? I don't know, I guess it depends, I reserve my right to judge on a case by case basis.

There is no best tool for a job, this is just wishful thinking. The best tool is usually the tool you know and that allows you to finish a particular job in a given amount of time. By agnostic I meant he must not judge an OS based on

You should really check Fortran 2003/2008 :). The new Fortran is actually a pretty modern language - modules, coroutines, functions in functions etc ...

Don't get me wrong I love my Mac, I also use Windows 8.1 when I have to (mainly for work). All my servers are Linux only. I think none of the above OS is perfect. My job as a programmer is to be able to use any of them. What I can&#x27

You mean he is not trying to force developers. What he suggests is that programmers should not port his code to Windows because this will keep the Windows users ... well happy Windows users.

You can't force people to not use Windows just because it is not aligned with your political views. What about OS X ? Do you really think OS X is more free (in the FSF sense) than Windows ? A professional programmer is OS agnostic, h

A few (many) years ago I bought myself a Windows 95 computer. In order to reboot the computer I had to use the "Start" button. Weird, didn't make any sense. Once your muscle memory start working, it becomes like a second natu

ChromeOS is a browser based OS, so I would guess you could use JavaScript to do a lot of things you would do in C# or Pyhton on your old PCs. Also, ChromeOS has a developer mode and you can always install a chroot Linux along side ChromeOS.

Sounds like you are more of a C++ = C with classes type of guy. Maybe this will interest you: http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/GoingNative/GoingNative-2012...

There is no C/C++ language today! You are talking about two very different languages with similar roots.

In 1 - 2 years from now I bet you will be able to use Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator in the cloud only (not necessarily a good thing). Your OS will be irrelevant (in the sense that any of the above apps will run on any OS that has a browse

Have you told your initial buyer that you plan to sold this to other people too ?

AdBlock is in Chrome Store ... so it will keep running as before.

Selling the same app to more than 1 person is not advisable, especially if you want to avoid to be banned from certain freelancing sites :). You could make some good money if you sell to a single person though.

I see no problem if the guys has referrals on his website. Last time I checked webhosting was not exactly free. But you are free to not click on his Amazon links.

A quote from the article: If everyone spent time trying to satisfy standards of elitist grumps, nothing would ever get done. First make a game that works, perfection will come later.
