Kudos to the creator. Writing something like this takes a lot of effort and it looks like they did a great job! Well done! With that said, on wider level, what's the allure of these JavaScript replacement languages? Is JavaScript synta

It's not a matter of it's a culture fit or not, it's a matter of showing that you care about the job. We wear whatever the hell we want to at the office, but if I conduct an interview and the interviewee comes wearing jeans a

This demo (nor none of the others linked to on the main Shumway page) appear to be working on my iPad, mobile Safari running iOS7. Not sure if it's me or if it's the code. Can anyone else confirm?

I'm sure it's just me, but I've never felt bad or weird or bad or even cared much about the possibility of paying 20 bucks for something vs 19 bucks with a 5% off coupon code. That one dollar savings doesn't seem worth t

Maybe I'm different and strange but I found learning Objective-C and the CocoaTouch/iOS libraries pretty easy. I think it makes a huge difference getting a formal education and just screwing around/googleing your way. When I tried to teach

For every outsourcing success story it seems there are two horror stories. I know at my prior employer we hired a development team in India for a year and it was a complete disaster. Not only was the work shoddy and buggy, we ended up payi
