I think it is better to call it model-based development rather than visual programming. Apart from those visual tools (e.g. Alice) which can be used to teach children the programming concepts, there are serious tools such as Simulink and SC

Here is a simple game I did. You can see the software life cycle data on the blog. Check the source code of the game. It is pretty straight forward. http://www.drdacademy.com/?id=a-simple-html5-game-the-design...

Unfortunately, there is a chain of dependencies that forces some people to do the wrong things. For example, the number of papers you publish is a major factor among others: - in receiving grants, - in hiring you as a researcher by univers

Rob, I think your idea (your book) is really innovative. Many people don't realize what they can do with what is available to them. It is a long time I am using PHP for text processing, e.g reverse engineering on embedded systems, impa

I think VCs and Angels work based on a set of rules similar to Wall street. They take risks most of the time blindly to gain more. Who can test every aspect of the idea? Who can analyze and predict all the outcomes? They make money like mid

After introducing the ring, still bridges collapsed in Quebec while in service not at construction and people died. I am not sure how effective is this ring.

Trevor, great work, I got another approach performed on Android market. The problem with categories in app markets is that they are high level classifications. Therefore, considering them as niche doesn’t tell us much. I performed a functio

Thanks for sharing your experience. Your old flow is like you go to a bank and ask for opening an account, they get your address and tell you we will mail you the forms to fill out the required information. Not many people like to change th

No, I didn't get to that point. I bet Ken had a lot of fun by his article and probably in his talks too. This is a good way to create buzz.

No need to be that harsh. It is good enough to recall a fact,a software engineer is a producer but a product manager is an overhead. I think he needs to go back to school. He even doesn't know what the job description of a software engineer

I just simply think those people who always talk about a specific gender’s rights in fact are helping to create more and more distance between two genders in the tech world.

It is always about women’s rights and animals’ rights. When somebody is going to talk about men’s rights? All the things she talks about, I have seen happening to male developers too.

Higher price is justifiable from a developer point of view as long as the support is included. There are gazillions lines of crappy code out there. A general rule in software management is “try to reduce your dependency as much as possible.
