I've learned programming on a website similar to elance (rentacoder, now known as vworker). Started with simple logo design jobs, advanced to simple php scripts, then c++, java, etc.. It was worth for me, coming from a developing country wh

Not bad at all. I've been through this a couple of times. Generally, you are a lot more likely to be successful with something fun or entertaining than with tools and utilities. Now you can use the success of your chrome extension to promot

I have to admit I understood why everyone likes vim so much, but never found the time to learn it. mcedit was good enough for me. This tutorial teached me the minimal important stuff to finally be able to use visudo :)

Google: Here's our app to put on the AppStore Apple Employee: thank you, we'll review it and put it up there .. 2 days later .. Apple Employee to Tim Cook: boss, this app is crashing a lot, but it's from Google. What should we do ? Cook: pu

I dream of the day when I would be able to work completely remote. Much like using a VNC now to connect to server and do the work. Unfortunately.. the internet connection is not good enough for anything like that, and VNC is sub-optimal fo

I've been once on the other side of the "be nice, it's a f####ng gift" situation. I had a subscription at a local telecom company, which provided both telephony and broadband internet. I went and cancelled the subscription in July 2010, and

I've been in Beijing for the past 3 months, and I've been relying solely on Google Maps to get around. I never had one single problem. If there ever was any discrepancy between maps and the real world, I didn't see it. I don't doubt there a

It should be part of G+, because it's cool and google usually does cool things. But it is indeed useful only for the top % of users, because the average user doesn't get that many reshares. PS: yes, I would really love to be able to build a

Obviously. But that's a very uncommon practice in Eastern Europe and Asia (the two areas I'm familiar with). And the applicant was from the same area.

Reminds me of a 25-year old programmer I interviewed once, who's resume sounded like this: - 3 years worked with iOS - 2 years worked with Android - 6 years PHP - 4 years Java Those aren't the exact numbers, but if I were to add the years t

I was just thinking the same thing. Wishing this to suck, but knowing that this actually is too good to pass. I've developed in the past for Samsung's Bada OS, Palm's WebOS, a lot of apps for Android and right now I'm working with Windows m

what kind of promotions did you do ?

I love apps that do one thing alone, and do it well. A couple tips though: - keep the main app colors to 2-3 maximum. You currently have a rainbow there: red header, blue row selection background, gray app background, white buttons - as iva

Nah, ICS allows you to disable any application, not uninstall it. It's basically in a state which just uses storage space, which is still a good thing. But who's to say that manufacturers won't modify ICS and disable 'certain features' ?

Smart move for both Dropbox and HTC. Everybody wins, and the users get the most out of this. Hopefully we're going to see more deals like this, but PLEASE manufacturers, don't make these apps un-uninstalable (like google did with Twitter..

This is just one more proof of how messed up the patent system is. The problem now becomes: why was that patent awarded in the first place ?

How is that consolidation ? It's just a struggle for one more push before the IPO, one more spike for their company to be valued as high as possible. It's a smoke curtain. Don't get me wrong, if I were Groupon I would do the same thing, but

No matter what anyone says and the patents involved, no judge in this world will ever ban Android in US or (almost) anywhere else in the world. There are too many manufacturers involved, too many users having phones with the OS, and too man

The majority of the apps were removed by their publishers, not by Apple/Google. Currently, my Android Market account has about 20 apps in it, of which only 1 is actually public. I've unpublished the rest because: 1. they just weren't succe

Be upfront with your current CEO. Tell her that you've received an offer that pays good money, and you'd be working with people you already know and get along with very well, so you would be a great fit in that team. Try not to burn bridge

Maybe i'm not understanding this correctly (I'm not an iPhone dev), but why don't you just store the data in the Documents folder ? Or maybe make it the user's choice: 1. Save data in the Documents folder - > slower itunes backup or 2.
