Re:Ask HN: Who's Hiring? on Friday April 30, 2010 @09:39PM (#1309954)
Any startup want to give us a try. I am leading a very small team of 4 people in one small town in India. I want to work in my own ideas, as apart from consultancy there is not much happening in some part of India. I am not getting the real experience. So want to be part of a startup to learn, work harder and deliver. This way I think I will get some confidence on my ability and my team strength. We can work on PHP, CakePHP, XHTML, CSS (hand coding), GIMP/Photoshop (basic photo editing stuff.. not professional logo or graphics design), JavaScipt/jQuery.... Learning Ruby on Rail too!!! Anybody interested can drop a few line to my id.... prasana.mishra at gmail dot com We would like to work for free till you gain confidence on us and we work upto your expectation....
Re:Thoughts on Flash on Thursday April 29, 2010 @08:05PM (#1306607)
hmmm I too agree with this post somehow.... since long I am also not comfortable in learning flash and creating flash based website.. though the graphics is amazing but very slow.... the current decision by apple will definitely hinder the progress of Flash... Adobe need to come up with it's own version of mobile phone :) in the post Steve Jobs mentioned not to encourage the third party layer.... so they ll be slow to adapt the platform changes.... But today got mail from Appacceletor Titanium, they are quite happy bcoz they are developing based on JavaScript.... not sure..

Re:What I wish a Ruby programmer had told me one year ago.. on Wednesday April 28, 2010 @08:30PM (#1303215)
Same here I am also trying Ubuntu 10.04 on virtual box.. though hard time fixing the resolution :) still playing around RoR it's nice!!! I am a java programmer... playing around a bit with PHP, CakePHP stuff... but again and again considering RoR... RoR screencast and community is gr8.. so does the PHP manual... but CakePHP I don't like much... very confusing naming convention and it's not working as expected... Still not able to make up my mind to go for CakePHP vs RoR (each time thinking in terms of Facebook vs Twitter :) )...I know facebook not using CakePHP but still they r using PHP..
