Then the UK should be relatively easier for you, since you should be able to apply for the same jobs as a UK citizen, I think? Beyond that, I'd say google. There should be a number of forums or immigration sites offering advice for EU resid

This all depends on where you're from. US is easier for Canadians, UK easier for Australians, for example. For non-commonwealth/non-EU residents, the UK has gotten very difficult since 2008 for people who are unable to get an employer spons

I find this fear of mistakes a bit disconcerting. We all make mistakes, big ones, small ones, ones people notice and ones they don't. If we didn't make mistakes we wouldn't need testing. What we do, is we learn where the mistakes are most l

heh, I'd rather this particular sales technique died a very quick death. But back onto topic. For the dead sea sales folks. People should probably ask if the sales person has ever been to the dead sea, and have they ever seen the effects of

what do you mean by non-trivial? I've abused knockout to some rather interesting ends, but I've never attempted to use it for as an in browser MVC setup. I think of Knockout and Backbone as fulfilling two different purposes.

the only way early versions of IE would go away is if the computers upgraded themselves. Even going out of support won't kill them as some people/businesses still won't allow their computers to upgrade IE, or install anything else. Example:

I do the same. All my personal gh repos are public. And I push as I work, I don't wipe commit history. I'm no one special, and I seriously doubt anyone looks at my code, but, if someone ever did, they'd see work in progress. Just like the c
