Harvard business review ( http://hbr.org ) is the best place to go. Tons of cases, searchable by various filters. But they're not free.

Believe it or not, this is quite common in the industry. I developed some software for one of the Big 5 banks in Canada and I saw first hand traders learning to program using C++, Java, whatever they can get their hands on because they need

I have a sample size of one school to pick from, but I have to agree with this. The overwhelming majority of MBAs are quite normal in their outlook. I graduated from the #1 ranked MBA in Canada and I believe it's top 20 in the world (depend

As a poster mentioned down further, Waterloo is where RIM (of BlackBerry fame) is headquartered, in addition to having one of, if not the best, computer science/engineering programs in Canada. A great area to find smart, young minds. And if

There was a previous thread similar to what you're asking: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1535869 For an example of successful products, check out my startup http://www.repustate.com I have a BSc in comp sci but I'm by no means an

I think this is a great idea. Do you intend to spider the web (or use YouTube's API) for existing ones and archive them in addition to allowing people to upload their own? For bonus points, if you could create a speech-to-text version of ea

I might get knocked on the head by HN for saying this, but .... my MBA. Wait, wait, before you hit me, let me explain. My undergrad major was in CS and I did a minor in economics, but I never took marketing classes, I never took a class in

That's weird because their newest API features allowed you to do just this, I think. It's called their Adaptive Payments API and the category of payments that would be applicable to your girlfriend's business is called Chained Payments. Mor

As many here have answered, you don't need a graduate degree to get into this field and make money. Both myself and my partner at Repustate ( http://www.repustate.com ) have undergrads in CS, but other than that, we just read a lot of publi

We use Website Payments Pro on our site (shameless plug - http://www.littleheroes.com ). I cannot say enough about how great their API is. I have Python code if you'd like, but it's really just straightforward POST. You can do subscription

I'd guess that cost is also an issue. The Canadian market is a tenth the size of the US but is spread out across the entire continent. One of my startups ships kids books. We pay $8 to ship from Toronto to Vancouver using Canada Post and th

@markchristian Sending you an email with more info, but in the meantime, check us out http://www.repustate.com And we're Canadian, too. Double-double anyone?

Agreed. The network effect is their advantage. Features are for tech blogs to write about, real people care that their buddies from 30 years ago are online now.

Spot on. Don't club me for saying this, but once I got my MBA, I was able to see tech products from more than just a nerd's eye view (I did my undegrad in CS)
