Today I discovered that Feedburner could publish my blog content to my Twitter account. So, now I can have keep everything in one place, (since I also use it for my RSS feed) really cool.
Update: It seems to work really well :)
Here are the latest installments from Douglas Crockford.
If you have seen some his other lectures on Javscript, then you can probably skip through some of them. If you don’t know him, then I can guarantee that you will learn something very interesting about javascript.
Volume One: The Early Years (Monday, January 25, 2010)
Chapter 2: And Then There Was JavaScript (Friday, February 5, 2010)
Act III: Function the Ultimate (Wednesday, February 17, 2010)
Episode IV: The Metamorphosis of Ajax (Wednesday, March 3, 2010)
Maybe it is just me, but I think that people are starting too overreact a bit on this whole Apple thing. So lets try to put things in perspective.
Sure it might be a bit frustrating not to have cross-platform tools, which Adobe would like to offer its developers. As a .NET developer myself, it would have been fun to use MonoTouch, but I am surely not going to complain about if Apple wont allow it. I would rather see it as a great opportunity to learn a new language and broaden my knowledge. If you have ever read “The Pragmatic Programmer”, then you would or should feel the same as me.
Apple and Adobe is like a very old couple that has been together forever, so they probably have a fair share of quirks, which probably doesn’t help in a situation like this and Apple could probably have handle this situation better. However, I can understand Apple’s motivation for not allowing, cross-platform tools.
If you ask the customers, they probably don’t care a single bit about what is going on, they just want to have cool Apps for their iPhone/iPad and who can blame them?
And if Apple were to rely and wait for companies like Adobe to implement new features that they put into the platform, then they would lose the competitive edge.
Btw. Niels Hartvig, i’ll bet that you are probably already on your way to buy the latest MBP (who can say no to these beauties) in the nearest Apple Store, even though you state that it is time to get rid of all your Apple gear. ;)
