I work in the child care industry. and we did a newsletter with Comic Sans body text for several years, it was a very friendly font to use, also quite readable. Our clients liked it. Given what I see in publications,…
The ones I've found that are good starting points: Stylin' with CSS by Charles Wyke-Smith - its mainly a (good) CSS book but gives enough hints at good design so you don't go overboard. Handcrafted CSS by Dan Cederholm…
I find dokuwiki to be a great wiki - does not need a database if you don't want one. Stores data as text files and images, so easy to look at source data. The access system is nice, can set up access groups. With the…
Wiki
Yeah I looked, and they even have versions for Windows Mac and Linux. Once they add in mobile support they have it pretty well covered for all platforms. I don't think facebook/skype has the same support level.
Could do lookup tables like the old CADET system did. http://www.websters-online-dictionary.org/definitions/IBM+16... In some situations you may be data rich but function poor. Like embedded devices where you have a…
Programming PHP - O'Rielly its not the cutting edge book (2006), but it is by PHP founders and a good ground-start to get a feel for the language and what the commands can do. I learned quite a bit more on how many of…
In case its a case of not 'getting' bitmap editing... You might consider a vector editor - like Illustrator or Inkscape. Works more like a programmer's mind; where you need to tweak elements and can always go back.…
Think of errors I had probably missed before I started compilation. Just about any long process I think of the stuff I forgot to check before I initiated it. :-D Other than that I get up, take a break, I deserve it.
Go to just about any programming language tutorial site, you will most likely see bad code.
Here are some nerdy ones: "BBS: The Documentary" and "Get Lamp" by Jason Scott are a couple great hacker docs, about BBSs and Interactive Fiction Games (though I would have to say they have a more Apple/wintel PC bent…
From my perspective it seems like Apple dropped FCP and is using the iMovie codebase. I don't think it is a matter of dropping Ancient technology more one of cutting production costs. And the "Apple plans to have [that…
Yep, on the California Tax form - called the Use Tax. I go through my eBay/Amazon/etc stuff and work up a total. I like having stuff like libraries and roads without potholes.
I think a lot of it is short development times and/or lack of code maintenance.
Programming is people coding upon the shoulders of others... or once the magician does his trick the trick changes from "impossible" to "there's a way to do it". Also some languages are better suited for some tasks than…
17? Take it from us old fogies - the older you get the more responsibilities you will have. You won't have the freedom to go to school and mingle as you do now. I'm not going to say go to college (never went myself) but…
Ticket Sales - http://www.eventbrite.com is doing similar, might want to see how they stack up to your ideas before going that route.
Learn what you need to get stuff done. Depending on what you are planning to develop and how you wish to approach it is how you choose the language(s).
ohhh, I just looked up the font, that is a challenge... Don't call it a design issue, call it a technical or usability issue, show "technically" this font would not be good, see how it relates to menus, accents, etc.…
Nice try. The hardware and software is largely pain free. You install it it works, you upgrade it it works, you do work, it works. Though as a techie supporting Macs at work for over 20 years, Apple has its flaws,…
Code like a programmer, design like someone who will use it. The best approach is if you can get some test data, in order to directly experience using the system. If the user enters dates a lot, you better make the date…
I do a lot of Computer History- Soul of a New Machine, Hackers, Fire in the Valley, Commodore - A Company on the Edge. I go to used book stores and check out the pre-PC computer books... here's a great one: The…
When I was learning to program in high school, I was thinking on how to do something ...to make the computer do subroutines, and and my brother told me about GOSUB (that hadn't been taught yet in the class), something…
If its so awesome why didn't you mention it? You have to promote it, and you don't always need money. The eat your own dogfood axiom is a good method for starting out. Post about your app on places where it is relevant,…
The Computer History Museum ( http://www.computerhistory.org/ ) is a great stop if you can't find any timely events. (it across from one of the Google buildings... though I think for Google you probably have to call and…
