It's Angular 1.4 at the moment - the project was started well before A2 had anything like a coherent direction for its API. Releasing an Angular 2-compatible version is one of our top priorities for the next surge of development. That

For a production app, see https://yoric.co/home , but i'm afraid we can't share the code. For examples, there's a tutorial walkthrough in the book, which we will be continuing to expand for the next few weeks.

What I really want to see is Gigster's contract . What terms do they make their clients sign? To do any kind of fixed-price work, you need absolutely ironclad protection against scope creep. Said protection against scope creep usuall

I've built or managed the teams that built over 50 software projects, ranging from small up to about half a million dollars. With all that experience, my estimate process is now extremely honed. It takes me, quite consistently, 4 to 8

Get out of my profession, you repugnant sexist asshole. This kind of rhetoric is not acceptable.

He's been mendacious as all of them, sure. That's not the important difference. The important difference is that there are now millions of black American kids no longer growing up in a world where they just "know" as a

OTOH, I've experienced a lot of people who know basic computer science but don't grasp any software engineering. Nor do they even realize that it's a thing. Those sorts of people tend to be very focussed on clever algorithms and data struct

Gorgeous - but I've never had nausea come on so fast while playing a game. Most games, 3 or 4+ hours will trigger a migraine and nausea. This one ... maybe 10 minutes. Otherwise, awesome.

I'm coming around to that view, myself. I've long since switched to playing most games on "normal" difficulty or below, because ratcheting up the difficulty really only adds tedium, not challenge. Once you figure out how to beat the bad

Would be curious to see the other end of the coin: given a complex web app with dozens of controllers and hundreds of templates, what's the amount of developer time required to build it with each of these frameworks. Rather harder to autom

Yeah, Unity is one I intend to look at. It's not immediately obvious from their page what language(s) we'd be coding in, however.

In case anyone's curious, the game concept is a sandbox (a bit Dwarf-fortress-like) in space. Instead of excavating Moria, you're constructing Niven rings, Dyson spheres, and other megastructures.
