(I suspect this post got flagged on Hacker News :(  It never got on the front-page despite the rapid upvoting on a n...

  App Store, Most Effective Weaponry In Apple’s Armor

Apple’s most effective and effectual weaponry is its app store. Surprisingly however, the first generation iPhone did not support any Mobile apps, and Steve Jobs was actually proud of this fact. Back then, in 2007, third party mobile apps were not allowed on the iPhone. Jobs in-fact announced that Mobile app developers could use the most modern standards and write customized mobile apps for the iPhone web browser.

Something changed this winter.   Oracle’s software license sales limped up just 2% in December, and the company blamed customer budget cuts and fears over the European debt crisis. Sales to Europe, Africa and...

  Why localStorage only allows to store string values

It is frequently used to store static data so that they can be loaded when needed. But as per spec, it says that the keys and the values are always strings (note that, as with objects, integer keys will be automatically converted to strings). Why cannot store the object as it is? Take a look at an example: var str = "test"; localStorage.setItem("str", str); cons...

  Letter to a Young Developer

I’ve been getting some emails from young developers wanting to “level up” as programmers. I’m definitely not the first to write about this topic, so I’m not sure how much I have to add. Still, for what it’s worth here are a few points off the top of my head: Work with other developers. We are at a wonderful time in the history of technology when for the first time, it doesn’t really matter where you are or who you are working for. So long as you ...
