Awesome work, I like it.

Nice to see a Canadian publication and startup here.

Yep, a large DDos attack affecting Newark.

April fools :)

http://albumedia.com Just a one-man show creating simple web and mobile apps.

Thanks...I'll consider adding it in the future.

This is great...wish I had it a year ago when I started working with GTFS. My latest project at http://yrtbustracker.com (Canada)

Currently working on http://ultralighthq.com - basically an aircraft marketplace.

I don't think the lack of diversity is an issue at all. Programmers provide solutions to problems...computers don't care about your race, age or gender when executing code.

I'm a famous black programmer...you just haven't heard much about me :)

What a terrible experience, especially from Google.

Added the phone to my shopping cart a few times and it disappeared. Oh well.

Yea right. They've been saying this for years.

How is this possible when there are so many qualified pilots looking for a job?

Wow...good job!

In Engineering we learn about a "black box" - a device that accepts an input and return an output. We couldn't careless about the parts/components inside that black box.

Sometimes we have to treat programming like a black box. All we care about is getting the desired output. There will always be time to make the code efficient later.

The end user and manager only care about the output.

Great course, I watched a few videos as reference.

GAE has been very good since I started using it. They entire internet seems to be slow...even HN

You should work on the simplest idea you can think of. Start small and improve as you go. Launch something and just focus on covering the hosting cost.

Making a constant $1/day is really hard. If money is the only motivation then you'll give up really easy.

Very interesting....at least it's not 4.

Seems like a decent idea. Please include a pitchback url so we can "submit real, anonymous feedback about your startup."

Awesome post...useful advice for solo founders like myself.

Congrats...I like it.

Yes you can! Just build something to show :)

ammm...but the iPhone 5 was released on september 21. How can you even compare?

App engine is great, especially for small teams. I personally like webapp2 and click to deploy.

It's important to note the various limitations(file size,writes to file system,etc).

Nice set of useful info and resources

The iOS 6 Map issue is nothing more than a PR stunt from apple.

I think it's brilliant. What's the best way to get people talking about their new map feature?

Release a map product that is inferior to Google maps then push a major update.

Everyone will be surprise how good iOS 6 map will be in a few weeks.

Entertaining but I disagree with most of the article. It's about time we stop comparing Canada to America. Canada is about the size of California in terms of population. This is like comparing a small tech company to Apple.

Canada is great, but easier access to capital in America.

Congrats and keep shipping :)

Thanks, will look into it

We all have different ways of learning. When it comes to programming, learning the fundamentals first can save a lot of time and frustration. Not everyone can pick a language and start learning right away.

I think a better way to start is by learning the fundamentals like: - variable declarations - if statements - loops - functions

Those fundamentals are the same whether you're doing backend coding or frontend javascript.

Remember, it's all syntax.
