Few years ago I wrote a solution manual to one of my text books (half of it was part of the assignments). I sell it on Amazon for $30 for pdf download. Been making around $200/month.

This is what I get. Could be totally wrong and if so, please correct me. App.net allows app developers to use app.net platform for a fee. App developers can integrate their user's app.net logins/profiles/network/photos e

Exactly. It's like comparing apples to oranges. I can imagine the scrutiny when it comes to support reps working from home. But when it comes to engineers, it's a total different ball game. I hope they change the title to "Ho

I am curious to know how do you verify these addresses? what methods you use? I recently built one for a client using Google maps api and it was not as easy and accurate as I thought.

I would like to add Backendless http://backendless.com to the list. It's pretty similar to Parse in terms of API and Dashboard. I've never used it but met the CEO and loved his vision for the future of the company.

One usecase I can think of is when UI developers are working on a set of expected response from an API while the API is currently being developed by backend developers. Once the API is ready, UI devs can swap the uri.

Though annoying for the user, it's the best way to engage the user. Bring back to the website and boost up hits, opportunities to cross-sell, upgrades, or drive retention. Besides sending the message itself in the notification adds a bit of
