Lots of projects want to simplify the app development process, and there are even more startups working on automating the process. Ultimately it's fine for prototyping, but not much else. Performance becomes an issue and you rapidly hit it

I like the first answer from quora, but with one exception.. That being an understanding of business and priorities. Great engineers understand that ultimately, they're responsible for shipping product in a business setting. In your persona

Zynga. Zynga continues to implement Lean with it's products. They don't develop any new feature in any product without concrete proof of user interest. Put up the "store" sign, make it clickable, if enough users click it, develop the featur

The coin game introduced chaos into the event. If the desire was to maintain order, providing an open ended game play mechanism where players have to game one another doesn't promote a system of order. This guy did a great job of gaming the

Round 2 of the mobile wars will be won in the same way as Round 1, by casting the widest net amongst all the platforms. People make money by producing many apps on iPhone now. People will make more money producing many apps on many platform

Box2d is amazing, and powers about 90% of physics flash games and now a good portion of iPhone games as well. It's also a great example of a creator having buyers remorse about the licence used. At somepoint the creator decided to be altrui

I actually just recieved my Sony LiveView in the mail today. Worn like a watch, it's more of a phone accessory than anything else. I can get updates as to phone calls, messages, and twitter, all without pulling out my phone which is usually

Book and movie distribution channels have approximately 2 years left to evolve or die. Music faced the same thing and decided to fight a losing war. They can be smart and embrace the change before it overwhelms them or be stuck culturally i

Ugh. He should have skipped writing about this. No matter the validity of his words, whatever he says will be percieved as sour grapes.

Get used to this. Borders is clearly just the weakest of the pack. Lots of book stores have tried to diversify into markets they don't understand to try to compete. Culturally, they can't handle amazon or apple working in their space. As ta

I was very excited when I saw a demo of this, but the review I watched seems to imply that it sucks for bluetooth connectivity. I'm wondering inPulse has the same issues.

Voted up for Corona. For 3D Games, look to Unity. I know people are have allot of success developing cross platform using it. But for 2D on mobile, Corona wins. If they ever decided to go the Appcelerator work and come up with a deployment

I'll echo the same as most other posters: Internet is the limiting factor. I love working there. No distractions is a great way to shut out the world and focus. My local libraries limited internet access to an hour a day. If 3g was cheaper

I'm just really starting to get into Android and was hoping for the chance to really get in and get excited about the technology. Much like it was in my first experience with the web all the way back in 2007. I'm really disappointed that I

Was really looking forward to I/O. I hoped to get the chance to jump down when I moved out west.. Hard to believe that they can sell out a venue like this in 59 minutes.

With the flood of android tablets that'll be coming out later this year, the price point for the blackberry tablet is way too high. Even apple will likely have a price drop associated with iPad2. Blackberry is heading back to enterprise, an

One thing is abundantly clear: If you're a developer or a designer and you aren't learning at least Android or preferably all three mobile platforms, you're looking at having a huge hole in your skill set by the end of the year.

Doctrine is brutal. Massively bloated, extremely slow, and feels (in general) like a cluster-f *. I like ORMs, and you can make them fast and effective. But in PHP, lightweight is king. I personally wouldn't go with anything beyond what's
