Foursquare is good for a simple and fast list of places, but the data inside that is incomplete sometimes. This Factual is new to me and seems good, I will see it better later (big list of places for Brazil, exactly what I need sometimes).

I don't know any other service like Simplegeo. MongoDB has some pretty good geo-aware methods worth looking.

I'm a geolocation fan and developer from a long time, so always watched and tested Simplegeo. But it seems they never got too much traction because their platform is very specific, even for geolocation systems (someone correct me if I'm wro

Giving a new way to work with it, making you rethink your async patterns. node.js created a new world to work with JS, making it more powerful.

There is a lot of innovation in the programming language space, see what node.js is doing with javascript (I still remember the days when everyone let all the JS code to juniors programmers because no one liked JS). Google should focus on f

"I believe college is about opening your mind and adquiring a framework for your life.". Totally right. College isn't a place to learn how to do your work. This you will need to choose and learn on your own, since there is a plenty of optio

I use Evernote to collect useful and interesting articles and links I see during weekdays to read them on weekend or when I have some free time. And clip to Evernote the full articles that I think will be useful someday.

Everyone talking about RoR and Django, but what about Scala? Does that a good language with a good web framework? I experienced RoR and trying Django now, and thinking Django is much easier than RoR (Django configurations and conventions ma

Facebook has bigger problems to worry about. Zynga using Facebook is a win-win for both, the problem, as pointed by TechCrunch, will be the Facebook Credits 70/30 cut (Apple, I'm looking at you).

Really cool to see how they moved from Windows-only to other technologies like Redis. They dind't jump into the hype at first version, they started using other things just now when they really needed that.

Exactly all of that! Everytime I tried to use any of these PHP frameworks, I got frustated because they demand you to be stucked inside the "convention over configuration" and you can't do anything more complicated into your code without ha

That was just an example. Developers should know what's a pointer and how to deal with it, because this is what happens everytime you hit the 'Build and Run' in compiler or run your Python script. And even a hello world in C can show all of

I think the problem is in fact that nowadays developers jump into languagens like Python, Ruby or PHP because it's easy to learn, easy to install and run the environment and easy to code (you don't have to deal with memory or code optimizat

"Guided practice would be much better". Totally agree. That's why I help my co-workes with something they don't know and encourage them to do the same with others.

You can't expect college to teach you how to program. It's more experience and try-and-fail than anything else. The college will teach you the basic, it will give you a ground to know how to start building. They won't tell you how to put th

Forget dates and times. Don't set dates to get something done. That's what worked for me and that's why I love Workflowy, I can set the to-do on my way and rearrange the best way at anytime. http://workflowy.com/

Yes, this is a good solution. But once I worked this way, and everyone was using the same VM. It was a mess and painful slow. I think the better option is have the best of both worlds: a VM to make final tests, when needed, and let your dev

I agree with UML and CASE tools, it was always a time-waster that produce too many things and never used. But I disagree with XML and OOP. XML was necessary for the first web APIs we had (they were called SOAP, in case you wasn't a develope

It seems reasonable if they want to attract VC firms too (or already have them), so the VCs can find entrepreneurs overseas and send them to Canada.
