Whatever brings some joy, it's the signal.

Very fun. Huge potential if turned into a product.

The point is the productand therefore the revenue is scalable. Much more than a salary in a 9-5 job.

I think the optimal solution is to be able to alternate between the last 3 ones.

Agree, how do you plan to go about it as a developer (I presume)?

minecraft is written in Java I believe.

Because I absolutely love Kotlin and I feel I'm much more productive with it. I have a hard time working with script languages and feel confident on my code nowadays.

Also, Kotlin let you use tons of java libraries.

My goal is to make a full kotlin android/iOS/backend game with shared business logic. How fare are wew from that?

Money

I can attest to this. Karma is indeed a thing it seems!

Shameless plug, but I'm working on a similar mobile game : Mobbles (Our tagline is actually Google Maps + Pokemon) http://www.mobbles.com

I'm not that unhappy it's an April fool ;)

Great article. I'm very surprised and disappointed by this news. I was hoping it would set an example for the European ecosystem. We actually got accepted into their program but decided to join another incubator instead. The amount of equity they would take upfront was quite big if I remember well.

France is one of the most active open source country : http://www.redhat.com/f/pdf/ossi-index-ranks.pdf

I'm embarrassed by the ones I've been working on for a long time but never released. Not by the ones that I did release but failed to gain any traction.

Sorry about the bad format of the post.

Are applications developed with the current version of FlashCS5 now allowed ?

Thank you for putting all this material, extremely useful for those who can't attend the founder conference in person. Those speakers are excellent and their concise ( brutal? ) way of putting things always leave me more energized.

Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question but : are smartphones ( iPhone/Blackberry/Android...) popular in Chile ? It could be useful to know for entrepreneurs targeting mobile products.

I like to know about the time when their business didn't have any traction yet. What was their business like during the first days/weeks. And if the company became successful, what elements made them gain traction ( who did you meet ? How did you approach the first customers ? Who did the first sale ? how ?)

I'd be very interested in knowing more about your experience in Paris. As a French who has grown up in Paris but wants to start a startup, I'd like to know if I should leave and try the adventure somewhere else.

Is it a choice you had to do yourself as well ?

I already read "How to get rich" ( Hint: It's not by working for your boss, so I think I have my answer ;) I understand it can be beneficial to work for a company, but I'm not sure if working as an engineer and being surrounded by engineers ( as smart as they are ) will help me significantly for my future startup. Thanks for the book recommandation, I'm going to order E-myth revisited right away.

But does working in a company ( as an engineer I would add ) really prepares you for all those troubles you're eventually going to bump into with your startup ?

I was looking for at least several javascript frameworks (server side). Plus the author seems to mix client JS framework ( jQuery, mootools ) and server ( JSMVC ).

Startup weekend ( by HEC business school) in Paris was last weekend I believe.Have you heard of any other similar events in France ?

I would suggest you download the Nokia6212 NFC SDK, and start playing around. There are lots of code examples included. http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia.com/id/5bcaee40-d2b...

Please do it. I'm more or less in the same situation of the OP, and your answer gave me a fantastic energy boost.
