I feel for OP because I've gone through something similar. I was motivated by money because I was born poor and went through the stresses of work and starting up because I wanted to be richer than I needed to be. People struggle in the

I am pretty sure that in the Stanford CS curriculum, CS193P has pre-requisites that include introductory programming clases.

Hm. So since companies do hire from dev bootcamps, are the candidates quizzed about CS theory during the application process? It seems pretty standard to be asked about data structures and algorithms for engineering positions and I can&#x27

I'm from the Philippines, too. From my experience, you have better chances of getting a better pay AND work-life balance at a full-time job than in freelance sites (Elance, oDesk, Freelancer.com). There's barely any decent clients

I'm not sure it's right to compare it to the Python versioning issues. Apple can just break old Objective-C code for later versions of iOS/OS X if they wanted to. Also, you can look at the adoption rate of ARC when it was int

There's a WWDC session where Apple designers use Keynote to prototype iOS apps. It's actually impressive--you can fake the animations and interactions to be really close to the real thing. https://developer.apple.com&#x

Shame this is happening inside a company whose product I actually love. In any case, that rant about the salary--isn't the employee ultimately responsible for whether she or he is well-compensated?

You should seriously consider going to the gym. It helped me build my confidence and the way I carry myself around strangers. Doesn't quite give you better communication skills but it's all in the confidence, really, and confidenc

Nope, won't downvote, because depending on the team you're working with, you're right. I work in a company where I started off following the author's suggested actions for becoming a great software developer. However, I

I've also read Stephen G. Kochan's book, but I think the Big Nerd Ranch Guides for Objective-C and iOS (two separate books) are much, much better. I also subscribed to Stanford's CS193P on iTunes U (the last class about iOS 6
