I also have a friend I want to start a startup with. But like you're friend, he has the same misconceptions about businesses most people have. But I like him & I think we would make a great team. So my plan is to watch http://startupclass.samaltman.com/ with him before we start anything.

I think the best argument against swift is the plethora of knowledge, tutorials, stackoverflow answers there is for objective-c. When I started learning Unity in 2009, I wanted to use C#. Yet 90 % of all the tutorials, docs, etc.. was in javascript at the time. As I was fairly new to programming then, translating from javascript to C# slowed me down. In hindsight, if I just used javascript I would've progressed much quicker than I did. I think the situation within a year will be different, the iOS community is producing swift tutorials en masse. But I would advice you to start with objective-c.

The best iOS material is: - Objective-C programming book from big nerd ranch or Programming in Objective-C from Stephen G. Kochan (more in-depth) - cs193p from Stanford (iTunesU) iOS 7 course is objective-c. iOS 8 course (starting in 2015) will be swift.

After cs193p you should know enough to make apps. If you want to be a great iOS developer, you should also learn: - ios / cocoa design patterns - cocoapods | git - visit http://nshipster.com - visit http://objc.io - Learn from other apps source code: http://maniacdev.com/2010/06/35-open-source-iphone-app-store...

I have Lyme disease. Tick bite when I was 10 years old, finally discovered I have Lyme at age 26, after years of suffering and getting more symptoms year after year. I'm now at the beginning of a long term antibiotics course. After 2 months of antibiotics, my foggy brain is starting to clear up again... for one or two hours a day in the evening I can think & focus again. The rest of the day I'm useless.

So it seems 2 months isn't enough to get rid of all the nasty bacteria, let alone two weeks! Yes, long term antibiotics has it risks but I wouldn't call it stupid when there's no other choice.

Furthermore, every 2 months the doctor switches the antibiotics, prescribes refrigerated probiotics with trillions of living cells & does regular blood checks (also for yeasts).

The power of habit by Charles Duhigg. It gives you insight in how habits work. More specifically, it explains the habit loop. Once you understand habits, it's much easier to change them.

Would it be possible to use bitcoin for digital voting? Once a vote is in the blockchain it can't be altered anymore, greatly reducing the change of election fraud. Or am I missing something?

http://islandofatlas.net/2013/10/04/a-hackers-guide-to-the-b... I think reading this might be a good start.

I think the 3Dbuzz classes are the closest you're going to get to a 'modern' MOOC. They've been around for years.

edit: "Building 2D games in C++ - A Beginners Introduction" is free for the most part. For the other classes you have to pay.

Sounds fun. I would love to read this! I hope you finish your NaNoWrimo. :)

Thank you! :)

You should consider sending it to amazon. http://studios.amazon.com/help/submitting-a-series-idea You never know, right? :)

This is a very old article. 10.000 hours originates from this article. It's the original.

Or better yet, use the free amazon aws offer. http://aws.amazon.com/free/

Thanks! Didn't knew this existed.

Seems like a nice app. I really dislike the video though. Comes acros as unprofessional. I dislike: - The voice (nothing personal, I never like it when the developers themselves do the audio part of their video) - The amateurish mspaint mascot. - The pacing: Too long, too slow. - The awfull keyboard sound & mouse icon.
