I strongly suggest you learn Objective C. It's not that hard and when compared with the trash you get using Titanium or PhoneGap it'll put you in a different league professionally.
At the very least learn another language, whether it's Python, Ruby or C#. Polyglot >>>>>> Monoglot
I strongly disagree. It's completely possible to build useful, beautiful native apps with PhoneGap, et al. In fact, it is beneficial in many cases, allowing developers to get from zero to prototype significantly faster. Not to mention, porting from one OS to another is magnitudes faster than writing multiple native versions.
It's not the right solution for all cases, but it's definitely right for some.
I'm picking up Obj C but it's early stages yet. I'm also building a couple of things in Python but not to the level I'm comfortable risking someone else's project on it at the moment.
I do know a fair bit of C and spent 3 years in a Perl shop but tbh, I'd rather not go down that path right now :)
I’ve just made the jump from corporate life to freelancing and I’m looking for my first clients to kick-start my new activity!
What can I do for you:
* Android apps;
* Image/video processing and computer vision;
* Web front-end development (HTML/CSS/Javascript);
* Qt Quick Interface development (QML);
* Web back-end development (PHP/Mysql/Python/Ruby/Redis);
* Machine learning;
I'm also interested in picking up technologies i'm less familiar with (e.g. iOS development, Windows 8 Metro development), obviously billing lower rates - not billing training hours. I assure that I deliver what I promise.
I'm very good at finding solutions to complex problems, enjoy rescuing projects in trouble, and like working with technology in general. I always chatting about requirements, feel free to drop me a line at tom@tbbuck.com
Hi ! I just jumped for employee to full-time freelancer, and I am currently looking for my first clients. I am particularly interested in web applications, and I like the start up universe.
- I'm mostly working with PHP (Symfony2), holding a french tech blog. I'm a strong defender of good practices.
- I'm also getting more and more interested in Javascript technologies for front-end, and work with SASS for CSS.
- I also have a good C# and C++ background.
I'm @clemkeirua on Twitter, and you can reach me by mail at clement@keiruaprod.fr
- Experienced and passionate team of web-developers (freelancers) (both front-end and back-end)
- PHP5 OOP (MVC, ORM, that kind of stuff; CodeIgniter, CakePHP, Zend Framework, Symfony2) and MySQL
- HTML5, CSS3, JS (jQuery, Backbone, Node.js)
- ActionScript 3 (Flash) (yeah, yeah.. HTML5's the future; anyway, AS3 is great with AIR for building/prototyping Android apps)
- Will assist with Linux administration (Apache, lighttpd, nginx; PHP and MySQL optimization; monitoring; basic fail-over and security like sysctl.conf hardening, mod_evasive and mod_security, ICMP flow regulation, installation of APF/BFD and CSF/LFD, chkrootkit + rkhunter packages, iptables, etc.)
- Hourly rate: 50$
Portfolio available upon a request.

I'm a seasoned frontend dev with an extreme eye for detail, and a knack for product design.
HTML5/CSS3/JQuery/Knockout/PHP/WordPress
I've been lead frontend developer on over 60 pixel perfect projects, and a jack of all trades aside from that. I dream in Javascript and a huge fan of Knockout.js data-binding framework.
But my real passion is product design. I've applied to Y-Combinator, and was a 2-time finalist in an incubator here in St. Louis. I have a page full of killer product ideas, some of which have gotten funded by others to the tune of $1 million or more.
I've been building WordPress marketing sites for 7 years and I'm pretty sick of it, would love a gig where I can work on a real startup project. Hope to hear from you
Python/Django/jQuery, with extensive experience building e-commerce marketplaces. I have a research background, data analysis, playing around with NLP right now.
I run a django dev shop, currently taking gigs. Here's my portfolio:
Web & User Interface Designer looking to work with startups, smaller companies (e.g. agencies, 2-3 person teams), and cool non-profits/orgs. I offer affordable rates and decent turnaround times. Ideal projects involve product and web application design.
Proficient in:
Visual Design (Photoshop), HTML5, CSS, jQuery, and Wordpress.
Comfortable working with:
Ruby/Rails, Python/Django, Git
I do d3.js and visualization consulting. Within the next week or so, you will probably see my latest project on the front page of Hacker News. I do all the basics (jQuery, CSS, HTML5) and prefer to use the advanced tools (coffeescript, less, bootstrap). While based in Cincinnati, OH, I've worked with people all around the globe.

I do Web Design/Development, Python, some JS (+jQuery of course) limited experience with rails, and my obscure talent is that I'm pretty good at SPARQL.

~=> Android Tablet Hardware Hacker <=~
Interested in CyanogenMod? Like hacking & rooting Android tablets? Ever thought it would be fun to hack together your own tablet, from scratch?
Sweet!
This is the type of person we are looking for. If you're interested, we would love to chat! Ping us with a bit of information about yourself and your background...
SEEKING FREELANCER - Spurfly - Palo Alto, CA or Arlington, VA - LOCAL or REMOTE
• Designer (Android and iOS primarily, as well as web)
• Front-end developer for desktop web and/or mobile web
If you happen to be both of the above, that'd be awesome. Help us scale and meet demand for real-time location-aware planning. Our focus is on groups and events ("spur of the moment, on the fly"). We've launched the first version of our iOS app and are working on a web and Android version.
The founders are straight shooters who value clear communication and getting stuff done. We're obssessed with creating a product that fills what we see as a major hole in social networking software -- helping people more efficiently connect in real-life with close networks so they can spend more of their time building and enriching real relationships.
Immediate front-end needs include many web design tasks and coffeescript/js templates for our single-page architecture web site. We're also on the lookout for a good mobile app designer to help us design our first Android release and update our iOS app UI as we gather feedback from users.
Support what's going to potentially be a wild ride as we do launch events over the next few months.

And I completely agree with your last sentence. PhoneGap is the right choice for some cases.
That's because the you don't notice the good ones. ;)
Thanks :)

And I don't blame you for the C/Perl sentiment :)
