   For a few years now I have been using PHP as a thin-client UI layer on top of C# Web API (dotnet core) projects running on Ubuntu/Docker. In my experience this has worked out very well, and has been easy to separate the areas of respon

   Good point. I've never actually worked with gtk+, but I have worked with windows forms development for desktop apps. I thought it was a really good approach for building a windows desktop applications, but I create all web-based UIs in

   I completely agree with the learning curve. I often think it's just as hard, if not harder, to learn a new tool than it is to learn a new programming concept. You have to re-train your brain to think the way the creators of the tool ap

   I get what you're saying; that these characteristics are not mutually necessary. And I agree with you. As for the other question, I suppose you could separate those characteristics as well. For a moment, let's ignore the Bible and

   You're logic is correct, but it's not the great teacher part that is in question. The part that is always in question is about whether or not he is really God. Take that same analogy and replace "great teacher" with &quo

   Here are a couple of my favorites: http://okaysamurai.com/portfolio/okaydave2006.html - It was built in Flash over 10 years ago, but the skill and creativity behind it is a force that is absolutely still relevant today

   You're right, the logos really aren't good. But to give him credit he did say "I have a bit of a designer inside me. Not a lot. Just a bit." I appreciate a developer who knows enough about design, even if their own desig

    I really like this. I think it would be neat to see a discrete help button or toggle switch, that allows novice users to go into a help mode overlayed on top of a live web app.

    I love this idea, but I was thinking the same thing about the arrows. They feel backwards to me.

    I couldn't agree more with the statement that "UX is not UI". I consider myself to be pretty skilled at UI design, but I often find that other developers (with no graphic design talent) are just as good, if not better, at UX than I am. I do

    In my personal experience the Internet and technology changed way more from 92-02 than it did from 02-12. In '02 I had already had broadband for the past 3 years, and so did many of my non-technical friends. I even remember some of them hav

    I think a great feature for this would be a map to visualize the results in your area.

    I disagree. The layout seems really tight, and hard to separate content from navigation and advertisements. In my opinion the ads and donate button make this site feel insincere and possibly even spammy. What is the author's motivation? To

    It seems that the fees have changed. In the article she says shopify keeps 20%. On their site it says: "You will receive 50% of the profits. You will receive 70% (an additional 20%) of each sale if you agree to provide full support for your

    What I have always found a little awkward is the use of 'a' or 'an' when written in a sentence. For example "..run a SQL query.." versus "..run an SQL query..". The spelling is the same, but the author's pronunciation can differ.

    My Dad purchased his first computer when I was 10. I learned a tremendous amount from my experiences with it, and for that I've always considered myself fortunate. My parents didn't have a lot of money, but they were able to afford a comput

    I'm a fan of Jesse BC ( http://31three.com/portfolio ). His designs are always top-notch IMO. Some examples are: http://www.campaignmonitor.com http://expressionengine.com
