If you want fixed width, please centre it!

Just me?

WHY IS THERE NO C?! :)

I'm pretty sure I saw in-app sheet music purchases in the video.

If so, the $2.99 purchase price is irrelevant. In fact, if it has in-app purchases, it should probably be $0.99, and only because I believe the app store TOS say you can't charge if the app is free to begin with.

Same here

An ipad form factor without a screen running linux? That's actually not a bad idea for colo, an I bet it'd be cheap!

First time to ft.com and... wow, what a horrible experience.

They taught a computer to perceive the world? Most misleading title ever.

tl;dr? Author confuses source code with revenue. Welcome to the less-than-free world.

Mind. Blown.

Nice game. Aussie itunes store pretty please...

Launch. You'll hopefully be around in a year, so anything you learn now will be useful a year from now too.

Wow, the comments here really suck. Filtered != Illegal, so work around it if you need to and tell your family and friends how.

Visual Studio Express is free.

Huh?

What am I missing here?

4. They don't read blog posts about Entrepreneurs?

doesn't seem to work

rot?

Agreed, but I think you missed the point, which is...

If the programmer sitting in front of him for an interview doesn't program outside of work hours, how did he/she get the interview in the first place? His conclusion is that they must have been goofing off at work during the day on open source forums, blogging or using twitter.

Love GDB. It has saved my life many times, but who uses it anymore? Not trolling, just curious. Managed code has won, has it not?

No.

Interesting. And predicatable?

I suspect that incorporating the second date conversion rates would skew this data significantly since vegetarian atheists are rarely alike.

Isn't Google "Flip" enough? Why would they add "Fast" to the name?

Slightly off topic, but I'd like to know how Apple managed to remove physical media whilst keeping the same pricing.

I'm no economist, but shouldnt the massive iTunes media surplus supply reduce the prices significantly?

Yes. But don't just learn the tool, learn what problem it solves. Tools have changed significantly over the years, but the principles are the same.

Jeff is an amazing guy. But, he clearly does not value design.

Start with Visual Studio (VS) and program in either vb.net, or preferably c#.net. VS helps a lot while you're learning, and you can choose to program for either windows or the web. Add the MVC framework and you get a fairly decent web development environment where you can then look into JQuery and maybe even SQL.

Once you're happy there, a move to Python, PHP, Ruby or Java will be relatively easy.

You don't need to know a language like C unless you plan to work with the elders.

Don't

Reasons?

Silverlight allows .Net developers to target a Rich web interface from Visual Studio. If you program in windows, you'll naturally choose Silverlight. If you want to develop using open standards, you'll choose html 5. Flash will be gone.
