from the ask-hn dept.

I haven't heard much in the way of web framework discussion as of late.If you're starting off on a new project, what does your stack look like? Is Rails your go to framework, or is node.js more appealing?

I used the super secret iOS SDK to build out a side project. I think the simple concurrency support is a BFD and a first for iOS.

I'd envision this tool rendering larger files as larger bubbles on the screen, showing the @properties and delegate methods as lines between the bubbles, ect

Because consenting adults aren't allowed to engage in an exchange of medical services without the approval of federal bureaucrats + lurking personal injury lawyers.

All we need is just one state with medical contractual freedom.

Re:Codeacademy for competent programmers? on Sunday August 26, 2012 @06:19AM (#4434806)
I use these in objective C, I usually create a data object and stick the networking function in it as well. Some use core data, but I haven't found a need for it yet.

static MySingleton *sharedSingleton;

+ (void)initialize { static BOOL initialized = NO; if(!initialized) { initialized = YES; sharedSingleton = [[MySingleton alloc] init]; } }

I feel like higher level organizational stuff could be taught in a codeacademy like format. Just simple lessons for different design patterns:

"This is the delegation pattern, we use it to _________" "This is a singleton method, it's best used for ____"

"Create an MVC structure using the strategies we discussed"

Where can a good programmer learn to be a great programmer? How does one go from a builder to a polyglot expert in design patterns, someone who makes beautiful, modular, maintainable code? A coder's coder.
