Where are they moving to?

>I think this is an interesting point in our history. We can pick up anything nowadays without having a clue as to how it works. We lose sight of what it takes to bring something from idea to reality. More people need to become aware of how things work.

100% with you on that. But it's not just a recent development. Robert M. Pirsig's book "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" from 1974 deals with exactly that "problem" or attitude many people have nowadays. The book is in some parts kinda slow and hard to read, but I still recommend it to everyone.

If you don't mind having your statistics in public, have a look at Masterbranch http://www.masterbranch.com/

It also serves very well as a CV for programmers.

Chrome Nanny link seems to be correct (Google Search suggests the same), but it actually doesn't work. Has it been removed from the Chrome Store just recently?

It doesn't matter what you do or how many things you do, you can do many things or focus on just one, you will always find ways to do things better, to improve them and you will always admire someone who is (at least from your point of view) better than yourself.

Totally agree with the other comments. This is the first honest and realistic writeup about "Android vs iOS development" I've read.

I started with Android myself and started porting an Android app (which I wrote) to iPhone and I had exactly the same problems iOS developers have when starting with Android. So it's just a matter of what you're used, too. From my experience some things can be done quicker on iOS, others on Android. However, that doesn't necessarily mean better, because providing a framework for a special case usually comes with the cost of restricted flexibility.

I also agree that Eclipse is a behemoth and quite overwhelming in the beginning, but there is a great tool for any code base that is larger than your typical pet project. Especially when having to read, understand and trace down other people's code.

Any details? Pretty much everyone is looking for iOS/Android development right now ;-)

Sorry to say, but I highly suggest that you replace the profile pictures you guys use with photos where you actually smile or at least show some kind of enthusiasm.

Also, the other parts of the website are not really working. Page not found.

@tassl: Do you live in Barcelona? If so, please get in touch with me: stefan.klumpp (at Gmail) - I'm always looking for interesting people to meet in BCN.

PS: is there no direct messaging system on HN? Or am I just too stupid to discover it?

"Then the company will actually pay some 20000 more euros in other salary charges."

What are these other salary charges?
