This is great because I wouldn't want to live in California they're going broke and it all seems like MOST of the companies there are just in it to sell out quick and make money.
Is CSS honestly that difficult? I mean I see why this could help but this just seems to add another layer of complication. I don't know maybe I'm just being a cynic with all these sorry excuses for technology.
I agree with this. I left school because I realized what I wanted to do and it WASN'T I.T. administration.
I didn't want to end up at a huge corporation wearing a suit and hating my life.
Now I work doing what I love and I'm learning a lot from others using hands on experience.
Eventually I will start my own business which is what I truly want.
If you have a vision and the motivation; and you know you can do it without school, go for it.
In short Paul Rand tells Steve I will make you one design and I will solve your problem. Since then I believe he has given designers (Jon Ive in this case) their space to design whatever they want. Trust in the designer.
Thats what I'm worried about, I was wondering if there was anyway of knowing for sure. The account recovery actually wasn't in Chinese it was Korean. It's looking like a proxy but I'm pissed and ready to take some of my own action.
I can't believe I read even read the first page... It seems like the press is the press, even in the tech world. I doubt this author knows anything about Steve Jobs or Mark Zuckerburg. Maybe the author saw the social network and thought he knew everything about the industry.
I could of also summed this up in a sentence or two. "Kid invents youtube instant and everybody wants to hire him." I don't doubt that he's smart but this article seems a bit ridiculous. It seems like tech stars are the next celebrities. So long to the days of nerds with the neck beard. Oh yeah, and actually making money.
Arrington seems like a jackass. Why anyone should really care about techcrunch is beyond me. Sure it gets you exposure but there are plenty of much more respectable blogs out there. Also its AOL, they're shit. Not sure if anyone remembers this http://www.thefastertimes.com/news/2011/06/16/aol-hell-an-ao...
I'm sure we'll be better off without gossip on Arrington or techcrunch.
My apologies for not clarifying. I assumed all web-designers or at least most of them already know HTML/CSS. I know HTML/CSS, Javascript, some PHP, some python, some C. I have very basic programming skills.
I'm wondering how I can leave the web designer/developer field and move in a programming community. What steps should I take to emerse myself in the programming world. Knowing to program is obvious but how do I find work being an entry level programmer? It seems like all the jobs out there want pros.
Its amazing we actually got to see an eyewitness of something this historical on tv. The fact that tech had evolved this fast in this man's 96 years of life is amazing in itself. Just imagine going from a time where you didn't have electricity in your home to having a camera recording you. The cigarette ads are irrelevant.
I'm probably in the worst area for any of the jobs I'm looking for. I'm living in Miami, FL. Here we have warehouses and out of touch web designers. Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it.
Its easy to quit but finding work after is the big question. Do you have any suggestions on where to start? I'm great at HTML/CSS,I can design pretty good UI and I started learning some python now. Should I look for work online?
