Ask HN: Please recommend skills to pick up

Posted by momop on Friday February 10, 2012 @01:02PM
from the ask-hn dept.

Low level coder here (another way to saying I am out of date with relevant skills!). I have an idea that I want to develop this year. Please recommend the most relevant skills that I should get familiar with. The idea involves - Live conferencing and Archival of videos - Clean looking web interface

Sounds like boiling the ocean. But some pointers on general direction would be very helpful. Thank you

If you're doing live conferencing, and don't want to force people to install a plugin, you'll need Flash. Which won't work on a phone. Is that ok?

Flash could be a problem. More than phone, I think iPad may have an issue.

Then you'll need a native app.

You may be able to use the Google Hangout API.

Thanks jseims. I will take a look. Most likely I will revisit the thread once I have done more homework
