Microsoft's Development Center has a lot of good information on building apps as well as documentation on all the APIs. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/apps

The Apps for Office API seems to be fairly limited right now to reading from a document and inserting text and images. For insertion, you can only insert data at the cursor point or replace currently selected text. There aren't yet option

Excel supports task pane and content apps. So for a task pane app like this, it would be possible to make the same app work in both Word and Excel by modifying the "Capabilities" part o the manifest file. All that needs to be added is the

In college, we had a few weeks of Humans v. Zombies with nerf guns. Those games are so fun.

This is adorable. It always makes my day to read about the creative things people do with friends.

Way better than a simple "Oops, page not found, blah, blah, blah"

This looks like fun. I'm totally cool with them having my data. Just give me pretty graphs. :)

I had to ask seemingly "dumb" questions a lot when I started programming. I switched to software after having been a classical musician for many years and the transition in just learning a whole new world of vocabulary and how everything w

hehe, yeah, I've been through this several times. I think it's funny when the recruiters try and lie at the beginning by saying a later interviewer may or may not be out sick and there is the possibility for some interviews to be cancelled

Many users have already been adding random people for the social games that have been going for a few years now. Like Farmville or Sorority Life. I know several people who ended up talking to some of those random "game friends" and ended

So many pretty things! I'm a huge fan of seeing what people can do with HTML5.

Oh this is cool! As a programmer and ex-musician, this definitely gets the wheels turning in my head. Thanks for sharing!

This article is a welcome reminder that I've been intending to do this. Somehow, I usually remember all the things I want to do around 2am and then forget them again by the morning. It would be nice to have a more frequent reminder. And

I can't get the page to load, but judging by the title, this is something I desperately need as a programmer with zero aesthetic talent.

There is no chance that I would pay Facebook a monthly fee. I love Facebook, but I would start using it differently or jump ship entirely if I suddenly had to start paying for it.

Somehow, I totally managed to forget about these! Sad, as they would have made awesome Christmas presents for some of my geek friends.

Wow, that's fascinating. I occasionally tell some of my friends that it wouldn't hurt to pick up programming, but I never expect anyone to actually go do it. I like the idea of this school. They can learn a very marketable skill in a sho

Does he have a lot of little knick-knacks in his workspace? If so, you could get some sort of geeky toy, like a usb rocket launcher. If not, get something edible so he doesn't have another thing sitting around.

If the load is lighter because the aircraft doesn't need to carry liquid oxygen, then does that mean it requires less fuel? Or does oxygen-powered mean it requires no fuel? I'm a bit confused by the brevity of the article...

This is fantastic! This tool is actually perfect for someone like me who doesn't feel nearly as comfortable with front-end development. I always have to do a lot of playing around with HTML and CSS. Now I can finally give my F5 key a bre

Thanks for posting. This is actually pretty critical to be aware of. I've seen problems come up a handful of times when developers weren't paying attention to timezones. The code was in one time zone and the database in another, so thing

This is pretty awesome. It will make it so much easier to prepare for code reviews and be able to tell someone about how much time it will take to do one.

kind of like Bauhaus style? I think that's where Metro was inspired from too

I read these things and wish so desperately that I was this creative. Mind. Blown.

How about finding a co-founder to handle those things, while you handle development and architecture?

For many of the backers, it seems to me like that's just the risk of investing in new products/companies. If they didn't receive the promised reward for their level of contribution, that seems like a problem though.

I'm assuming the receiving entity also has to have an account with dwolla, or is at least instructed to create one to receive their $?

This is pretty cool. I think it's a really good idea for a student to try and start at least one business before graduation. Whether or not it works out, it teaches them a lot about how many aspects are involved in a business besides what
