I used it in the past when I learned Python - I built small apps that were just for fun. It's a powerful engine, and has a lot of nice features. I'm pretty happy with starting there, because I moved on to Xcode afterwards.

A 4chan submission seems like a desperate attempt to get eyes on your product. Has anyone every tried this before? "How I used 4chan to make $X" would be an interesting read.

This is absolutely brilliant. It perfectly and precisely depicts how I feel. Most of the time, I love to talk and interact with people. Everyone has a story to tell and networking rarely hurts. As a current freelancer, it's fascinating to h

Well, that comes down to a very specific question: Do you like iOS or Android better? If you are indifferent, what do you like/dislike about your current phone? Also, if you're thinking about mobile development, go for the one you'll be dev

Basically yes. Provide something that might be attractive, such as extra or alternative features that you think users would enjoy. Some sites that have great APIs are Flickr, Reddit, and Hacker News (although, I cannot personally recommend

I am also getting started with this process and these are things that have helped me: It seems like you are very aware of what you are capable of. It's great to be realistic, but also realize that you are now in the professional market like

I'm curious about how you would go about "charg[ing] more." Do you contact current clients and explain why you are raising prices and charge them your increased price on the next job? Do you just state it and not explain?

It looks like a little validation from others can go a long way. Take some time to show off your best work - or whatever you currently have. Let your potential audience provide feedback for you.

This particular interview is actually quite old (not that it isn't still incredibly fascinating). The Foundation series has been going on for a long while, and Kevin has created 30 interviews with outstanding people. If you have some time t

The content itself seems great. I have a few tips for the presentation, though. - The "enter," and "you get" slides are a bit hard to visualize. Put "enter" on the left and "you get" on the right - Try including some interactivity with the

For me, HN is a platform to discuss interesting things with interesting people and to expose myself to opportunities that I would otherwise not have. So yes, I do use my real identity.

Great point. I agree, and I hope that collaboration between Google and third-party developers will only increase what IntelliJ and now Studio is capable of.

I could not seem to find it through both methods. I ended up going to the Top Charts and found it as #9 in the Free section.

I feel the same way. For school, we are - unfortunately - more or less forced to use Eclipse. I understand that many companies' standard IDE is Eclipse, which means that being comfortable with it makes students more hirable. However, I was

As mentioned above by shadowmint, it seems that Microsoft is looking for some attention, and they have already succeeded. Well done. But what are the long-term effects on the growth of what Microsoft really needs (a thriving third-party mob

Something like this seems... illegal. Isn't this type of data farming only allowed after explicit permission of the user?

I see why this is interesting, but how or when would it be practical or useful?

This is some of the most intelligent advice I have ever seen here on HN. Let the businesses come to you instead of hunting down each job/gig.

What does "special forensics software" even mean? What is stopping some smart hackers from making a software that does the same thing, open sourcing it, and allowing 'regular' people to do the same thing for free?

Yes. According to them, they agreed to be acquired to gain resources from Facebook. This reminds me of what Youtube did with Google, and many other acquires. I expect Parse to become better and better.

If the interviewee has an app in the App Store, a good option might be to let them tell you about the technical details. Go over their code and ask them to explain everything. In the right situation, this may be a good section to add on to

If you want to make this one app and then go back to Ruby (or what you normally do) afterwards, you could probably wing it with a variety of specific online tutorials, GitHub, StackOverflow, and of course 'Google'. If you want to become a t

You mentioned that you have already started edging towards taking legal action. If you are not payed on time, report them. They were friends and colleagues, but this act of distrust tells you all that you need to know. In my opinion, you ha
