kageneko··on As Coursera Evolves, Colleges Stay On and Investors Buy In
My current employer is requiring everyone to get Security+ certifications because our clients are starting to require that.

edit: oh, certificate vs certification. I don't know of anyone who cares about the Coursera certificates, but it seems certifications are still in vogue.

kageneko··on Ask HN: Best way of learning mobile dev from a webdev background?
I've used Ionic Framework[0], which is basically Cordova + Angular = Mobile Development. If you know Angular, it's a really good place to start, along with ngCordova[1].

If you don't know Angular, then straight Cordova isn't so bad. I actually did some Google Glass development that way. There are Cordova plugins for just about every mobile function you can imagine, with varying degrees of quality. To learn them, I basically took sample projects and examined them, made a few changes, and checks to see what broke.

If you know C#, you can also look at Xamarin[2]. I don't have any experience with it, though.

kageneko··on Ionic Marketplace
I used it for a fairly complex application for Georgia Tech's classroom manager. It worked really well -- notifications, insane authentication and WebView stuff. On Android, speed was an issue on older versions until I used Crosswalk. However, Crosswalk would crash on older phones :/ Development and debugging Ionic was really easy.

Like to learn and experiment with other technologies. Unfortunately, not in a position to relocate at the moment. Most of my experience is full-stack with java, perl, and javascript. I have done a bit of mobile development, including an application for Georgia Tech that was developed using Ionic:

It's in need of an update.
