The title is also a little confusing. It's not about making $XX,XXX per week programming. Rather, it's about marketing. I'm not sure the same rates would apply to developers becoming "consultants". I think it's something like this (two diff

That's kind of what sites like Service Magic (Home Advisor) try to solve. But, I think their biggest benefit is the user comments and reviews, not their service. I prefer to just DIY. Then when it breaks again, at least you're empowered and

Ran a remote dedicated server to host apps for several years. While it was an enlightening experience, it was a lot of sleepless nights and high anxiety. Traffic spikes, OS updates, security, and plain old downtime. I've used shared, VPS, d

This is a 10 mile long sales page, down to the P.S. at the bottom. The copy itself, sounds genuine. However, the look of the page itself is a turn-off. Why did you decide to use this format as opposed to a simple, cut & dry page with a

Not to turn this into a "Google banned my Adsense account" thread, because there are plenty of those on the DP forums etc, but I had the same thing happen for an equally absurd reason. Google mysteriously banned my account because someone o

I agree, freelance development is a lot of overhead. Plus, once your freelance business really gets moving, you end up with 1 or 2 primary clients for all of your work. Eventually, you ditch the other client to focus on the bigger paying on

It probably supports wifi too. But if the power in the house goes out, so does the Internet. By going cellular they avoid that problem, although batteries can still run out. I'm not convinced this is what we need. I suppose if you littered

Nice informative post. I also read your post, "How to incorporate a US Corporation from outside the USA". How is this legal? And how/who do you pay taxes?

I just want to add, the subject was hanged and decapitated. For what, we'll probably never know. But just think about that with regard to bringing him back to life.

I don't see how a flying car makes any sense. Instead of accidents on the ground (which are fatal enough), now you'll have them falling out of the sky. Granted, I was just in an accident a few weeks ago, and it dramatically changed my view

Agreed. I actually think the App Store is Apple's biggest problem for future growth, because they're losing developers. I certainly don't want to write an app just to make $0.70 for a couple sales. Or if you're lucky, maybe charge $2.99. Se

Making iphone apps used to be good a few years ago when the store first opened. Not so much now. Earning $0.70 per sale is just not enough. And that's if your app can even be found. It's even worse with Android. With mobile overtaking PCs,

I've used NHibernate, Linq2Sql, and Entity Framework in real projects. I like EF the best, particularly EF Code First. I'm not fond of NHibernate's configuration files and lack of linq support. EF Code First has its quirks too, but seems ve

Have you tried EF Code First? It lets you define classes, with no inherited base class, that can be used with the Entity Framework.

Regarding Rule 2b, why did the author keep repeating "store the salt in the database along with the key". Why would you want to do this? A cracker would have access to your hash and your salt. Wouldn't it be trivial for him to append the sa

The standard deposit insurance amount is $250,000 per depositor, per insured bank, for each account ownership category. I wouldn't be all that worried though. I'm not sure if 9 billion puts a dent in their accounts. They move a lot of money

Maybe so, but what happens when you need to do something before returning the value, say like closing a connection? You'd have to make the change in 4 spots (and hope you don't miss one), as opposed to the first example where you'd only hav

Good SEO is targeted towards computers rather than humans. In the case of this newsletter-style post, potential customers would probably want to click the product name to get more details, rather than clicking a series of words which might

Did anyone else notice that the link to the product web site was on the text "online apartment applications" rather than the product name "Rocket Lease"? I know it's good SEO to backlink on the keyword, but it still seems grey-hat to me.

I would go so far as to say that we may one day be able to take away the legs, arms, organs, torso, head, everything that will eventually break down. Then upload our brains into a virtual, (dare I say) MMO world and not even notice the diff

I would have liked Google's implementation more if instead of clicking the little O's to kill them, you get to instead make buildings that produce G's or something to defend. Clicking the O's isn't really starcrafty.

Do you think recurring billing makes more sense to web apps than desktop apps? I think users are entrenched with the idea of "buying" a desktop app and "subscribing" to a web app.

Good post by Dave. As others mentioned, I think Bootstrap is very much like the Wordpress for web apps. Just like wordpress has hundreds of templates, hopefully we can get a variety like this for Bootstrap as well. This could be as simple a
