Coding Blind

1pts0

I find myself very good at picking up small examples of code. I think the real challenge in programming isn't learning how if statements, loops, arrays, etc. work but how to put them together to do what you want. This is the real challenge and I believe this is a combination of self-teaching (maybe experiences) and natural ability.

Firefox 4 is here 15 years ago

Right. Is it just me or does it seem that most (if not all) of the new features in this release were inspired by Chrome? What is Firefox doing to move the web browsing experience forward?

#7. Though this example may be hold true, I don't always relate corporate promotions to being 'good' at something. One thing that I've definitely learning is the people you know (your 'visibility') is as important (maybe more) than what you know.

I would like to say nothing but I know some authors won't want to be included without the magazine being free in some form. I'm afraid this will jeopardize the quality of the articles and reduce overall readership. How about making the electronic (only) version free (again) and giving author credit/promotion.
