I'm surprised there isn't enough mention of Jonathan Ive in commentary about the future of decision making at Apple. I think he's got a lot of Steve's aesthetic senses, and also has some of the same unquestioned authority/credibility that Steve does.

If your looking specifically for "CS" then you need to start thinking of the problem differently than Python/Dijango.

Take a problem and break it down to what you think are it's smallest components. Now break it down even more beyond what you think and once you get there, break it down way beyond that.

In your case, since you know Python, the question you must ask next is "how does the interpreter process my Python code?" In short, learn how the Python interpreter works. After that, figure out, how the Python interpreter was made by a compiler and so forth. Inside each of those items are treasure troves of algorithms, ideas, theory, etc that would fill years of curriculum at a standard university.

If there's a hard part that you don't understand, don't ignore it or facde it into an API, study it and see what it does and by the time your done, you'll probably have enough knowledge to create your own interpreter for your own computer language.

(Note: This is only one idea. There's many ways to approach this problem.)
Agreed that the wiki would have been useful. I think the Stack overflow site would just be a replacement for their forums
1. make a list of all popular video game blogs and sites that cover the world of gaming.

2. contact the bloggers, site owners, writers, etc. on that list telling them about the site and what a great tool it could be for their users (hype it up)- your goal is to get mentioned on as many of them as possible. You can even ask to guest post on some gaming blogs- something like "how i turned my gaming passion into a startup."

3. since you didn't include a link to your site, i don't know if you've already done this- but make sure your site is easily sharable across all the social networks (FB like button, Google +1 button, etc).

4. run a contest for your existing users- offer them a giftcard to gamestop or amazon or something, the user that brings in the most sign ups (you can give them unique referral codes) in X time wins. For $100-200 you can have cheap user driven marketing.

good luck

But there are other problems with the comment.

There's no mention of CoffeeScript anywhere

It's in the 2nd paragraph of the docs. Not prominent, but somewhere.

CoffeeScript is not JavaScript

Technically true, I suppose, but they are beyond related.

If it's a JavaScript framework

Maybe it's a CoffeeScript framework? My sense is that at the very least, the use of CoffeeScript is an important aspect of the project.

This is one of the reasons I don't believe Apple will achieve the same heights without Steve.

For instance, a Picasso and its reproduction may look the same, but the original has a story behind it. One is almost entering into a relationship with a piece of art. This is why we'd put up with any idiosyncracies that Apples have for so long.

Apple without a story becomes Apple Corp. Sony fell by the wayside in the same manner, when the founder left, the company simply did things the old way rather than asking why.
Singular "they" goes back centuries. Shakespeare and Jane Austen both used it. Its comeback as the solution to the gender-neutral conundrum seems to me a pretty good answer to changing social conditions. It does stand out too much sometimes, but "he" and "she" stand out way worse, especially the dreadful overcompensating "I'll just self-consciously regulate my gender distribution and make sure that at least half of the time my programmers and executives are a she" business, which is based on a misunderstanding of how language evolves. You don't get to pick and choose your own usages - not without sounding pompous and stilted.

None of these options are perfect because language, like society, is in a transitional period. But I'd be surprised if singular "they" doesn't end up winning. To my ear it has already very much pulled ahead. Not that it matters what any of us thinks. Language will evolve however it does. Usages are incorrect until they hit critical mass and become correct.
I worked for Google as software engineer. Many colleagues left to build their own business, often a start-up. Contrary to the common idea that Google eats up talent, I believe that Google is a great incubator, in fact.

Personally, I left to pursue doctorate studies.

The working hours are not crazy for all, but it's all bout getting things done, and people feel responsible of their tasks, so there is also a significant part of WFH.

Broadcom would generally win on making hard to get EVKs. You can't even get data sheets unless you're a direct 100k unit type of customer. TI will sample to just about anyone.

Note that the OMAPs are trickier as they expose their memory bus above the chip - the SDRAM and NAND are mounted on top of the main die as a stacked BGA. This isn't easy to work with.
This post is the beginning of an excellent article - but it stops at the point where it gets started. Lots of context, lots of information on reforms and changes, then... no more information! Which is kind of the point, but it leaves me wanting more.
I still don't get what I'd use it for. Is it like jquery? Is it like rails?
I don't see how you can read it any other way. There was no judgment made in cturner's post; only a presentation of evidence to refute the claim that everything is a cost/benefit analysis.
A Fanboy's Thank You to Steve Jobs
Facebook community now on Stack Overflow
Yes, quite right, I haven't thought of that.
Jobs was like the God himself, he could do whatever he wished and he didn't have to answer to anybody (for 99.99% of times). No other executive in Apple or elsewhere has this privilege (except in startups!).
Indeed. I'm a 41-year-old developer and have spent most of my career working in university research departments. Just a grown-up amongst grown-ups. I had an interview the other day with a start-up whose HR department and developer-interviewers insisted on talking about the "free lunches" they provide. I mean, when it came to question time for me they actually asked whether I wanted to know anything else about the lunches. By then they must have realised I couldn't give a shit. I was and still am just bemused by how this could possible attract anyone, of any age. I mean, do I look like an idiot? I'll make my own sandwiches and take the money instead please.
Yep, sorry about that!

We've just fixed that (it was an outdated SDK file) with a direct link to our mobile dashboard, where developers can sign up themselves and get their apps running DoubleRecall in no time.
Tributes to Steve Jobs from business executives start pouring in
Yes, in the verdict. The patent is on two things that are relevant here. 1: When you slide through pictures with your finger, and you move one picture to the right, is the empty space on the left filled with parts of the new picture? If yes, you infringe! 2. If you slide a picture a bit and remove your finger, does the picture pop back to the centre? If yes, you infringe!

Is this a ridiculous patent? Yes. But hey, that's the system.

Android 3.0 on tablets does not have this functionality as they run on a big screen with a different approach, hence Android 3.0 and thus also the Galaxy Tab that runs with 3.0 is not infringing. As this was the only surviving point of Apple (all design stuff, copyright, copycat, patent claims have been thrown out) it needs a trivial fix from Samsung - that they already promised to deliver - and Samsung is the big winner here. Today the whole circus moves to germany, Düsseldorf court. Should be fun!

as a naturally gifted salesman i can confirm this article is spot on

p.s. i am a naturally gifted programmer too. the two are not mutually exclusive - pun intended =)
Beware: This article is filled with factual errors. I was making a list as I went along, and when I afterwards read the comments section I realized I had overlooked many more. That does not by itself affect the validity of the author's overarching thesis, but if someone can't be bothered to get their basic facts straight (e.g. Iceland's EU membership status), it casts serious doubt on their ability to perform the much more subtle and exacting task of sociopolitical analysis on the reader's behalf.

The article did raise several points about which I was previously unaware; I will pursue them through other sources. I'm unsurprised that the IMF pushed back against the plan to default on the loans. The IMF usually props up failing economies and forces legislation that lets foreign investors reduce or withdraw their local investments. Love it or hate it (and I incline towards the latter), putting your balls in the vice like that is standard operating practice for them--it's what they do. I was surprised to learn (and until it is confirmed elsewhere, I remain skeptical) that the UK and Holland threatened to freeze the funds of all Icelander-held bank accounts.

Perhaps because he's an SVP, they are keeping him in reserve till the next CEO is required?
I find it less likely that this move was a matter of appeasing the board and that Steve will still be CEO without the CEO title. Seems more likely (as has been discussed elsewhere) that this is an attempt to soften the blow to the stock price.

If Steve suddenly disappeared, and would no longer be at Apple in any capacity, I'm sure the stock price would dive.

I find a simpler (and more probably correct) explanation to be that Jobs' health is deteriorating, which has prompted both the rush on the publication of the book and the resignation from the CEO position.

The idea that Steve is going to pull out a "...and one more thing" in his final hour (or on his death bed) seems like Cringly has been watching too many movies.
The best thing about any tutorial is not the content but the way you present it. You could be the best in the field but if you cannot express the same to your audience then it doesnt make any point. And this is why i like Nithin's posts. Simple and very easy to follow.

In that case, marketing is probably higher priority.
You know how the news people run the wonderful stories about people's lives AFTER they are gone? Well I sure wish they'd do it while they are still around.

As much as I am not an Apple (or Jobs) fan, I still recognize great achievement when I see it.

Best wishes to him and his family.
I disagree, the people in my life who act like they know what they're doing usually suck at it. There's something to be said for not discounting yourself too much when new to a field, but mostly if you don't know what to do you need to ask someone who does, so that you can actually know what you're doing

This summer I was coaching Congressional debate in Florida. I was effectively new to this form of debate because it was more of a performance than analytical activity. So I wrote a list of the speaking problems I didn't know how to coach, and asked another coach about everyone of them, right in front of the person who hired me. If I had acted like I knew everything already, I never would have asked. But asking allowed me to pull the ideas from coaches with very different backgrounds, and by the end of coaching several kids offered detailed reasons why I was the coach most helpful to improving their speaking skills

I have to agree, and a lot of the other responses in this thread are disheartening/annoying.

The biggest thing Steve Jobs brought to Apple was to build a culture that supported his vision. Apple as a whole is focused on the mold that Steve brought back with him. Tim Cook has been the avatar and excellence in this image on the operations/production side. A company that has AMAZING profit margins on it's products due to the operational efforts to buying up needed parts ahead of time, etc. I suspect Jonathan Ive will be able to continue the design esthetic. Apple is a company running on all cylinders to deliver focused products. This differs greatly from the Apple before Job's returned. Will the focus erode? Possibly, maybe some of the perfection will be lost, but there is a much stronger base in plance than ANY other company in the valley in the last 20+ years.

Compare this with Microsoft when Bill Gates steped down. While, I personally feel that MSFT has made some positive steps in mobile with the Nokia partnership and WinPhone 7 doesn't suck, the company wasn't focused. Each department was kinda doing it's own thing. Ballmer was left to try and build something out of a lot of disparite pieces. As such, MSFT, as a stock, has basically flatlined for 10+ years.

I think it is safe to say, outside of Hewlett & Packard (more recently) and the Fairchild Eight, no single person has been more influential on the Bay Area technology scene in my lifetime (born and raised here). I will go one step further, and state, I don't see any of the current "elite" Paige/Brin/Zuck/Ellison(he's still around and strong) contributing anywhere as much.

Steve, like Bill and Dave, Gordon Moore (etal), are in a class of their own.

I've loved/hated AAPL products over the years, but Steve has been nothing but a gem for the valley.
Very true. And, I think when they were saying NO, they were also thinking about WHY they can't sell a tablet at the time and tried to solve the problems.

2000: Can we sell this tablet (or phone)?
- NO, because hardware isn't good enough and even if it were, why would anybody buy this, if they can't watch movies or listen to their music without too much hassle? Let's build a music (& movie) store, so that when the hardware is ready, we are ready too.

2005: Can we sell this tablet (or phone)?
- No, the hardware is good enough now, but we need great software too. Let's build a great mobile OS (from scratch) and leave the legacy behind. And give the 3rd party developers the SDK and tools to build great apps for our device.

2010: Can we sell this tablet?
- YES, the software is great now, just like hardware. Order 15M iPads to Foxconn and ship the damn thing!
Congrats to Lucas on a bold move to shake up the PaaS start-up space.
Apple's going to be fine.

Jobs brought back Apple from the brink in 1996. Depending on who you talk to, they were months or weeks away from bankruptcy.

Fifteen years later, its flirted with being the most valuable company in the world.

Cook is the only choice. He's so good at not being Tim Cook, Apple is the focus. Barring Steve having failing health, this is a masterful transition.
Of the two... #2 is best but I would avoid trying to balance your own product time and freelance. I did that for years and it got me absolutely no where other than experience. If I were you, I'd join a YC startup as the UX guy... Lots of people are looking for them and your portfolio is impressive enough.

Depending on the stage of the company (letsay recent YC grad). You should be able to score 3-6% plus living wage ($30K to $45K) as well as gain a ton of connections in the valley. That is, if you can pull off the visa stuff.

---

Failing the visa shenanigans, I would try to form up a company with low tech focus/need. Letsay a mobile ad network, niche ad network, e-commerce, monthly packages (a la manpacks etc.)... I wouldn't go the Kevin Rose way as its hard for you to raise money not living in the US (and Milk doesn't make apps that make direct money) as well as web design not being sustainable as a business.

Over the last 5-8 years or so there's been a formula to what made Jobs such a successful leader of Apple. Smaller, faster, focus on human usability, make it look nice, control the supply chain so you can build it cheap and make lots of money, let your competitors make the mistakes and swoop in with your own product with what you learn from their failures, don't bother building cheap low margin junk, etc. It's almost a science at this point. Like any good scientist Jobs surely has a lot of disciples within Apple who will carry that tradition on and move it forward. Astronomy didn't die with Newton did it? Apple will undoubtably change but if they continue to follow the values that Jobs has drilled into them for the last decade they should be fine. Success is the best teacher after all.

Since they've had some time to prepare for this transition I would expect that Jobs put much focus and intensity into thinking about how you move forward without him. That shift in focus may be a large part of why he stepped down last year. If he's been working on a new product then it's not a new iPad or Mac but instead it's how you build Apple to last another 20 or 30 years.
For all the male-centric things I read everyday, it was actually quite refreshing to read a female's '31 things I've learned in 31 years'.
"Where is Apple going? What’s the grand plan? We know there is such a plan — there has to be, Apple’s moves have been too deliberate, if inscrutable, to be some executive random walk."

I'm not sure I see that. Apple sees gaps in the market, and makes high quality products to fill them. I'm not sure there has to be some grand, overarching theme to the whole thing. They make stuff when they know they can make it well and sell it well.

Is that the author's own clarification? That lessens my confidence in him. Yes, it is a EU candidate country, but its formal ties to the EU (EEA, Schengen, etc) have been much closer and longer-lasting than those of any other candidate country. Listing Iceland in that group gives the wrong impression.

Steve Jobs resignation letter mocks idea that board had no succession plan
I know what you mean--I get these comments too, and I've been living in places like Germany, Belgium, England, Mexico (Mayan Riviera ain't as cheap as you'd think) etc., while earning dollars, and still making it happen.

People always ask how I can manage to travel so much and live independently when my take-home pay is so low compared to a salaried developer. The answer is that just like everything in life, it's about priorities. One person might prioritize cable TV and an iPhone for $200/month, whereas I'd put that money to a plane ticket. Granted sometimes things like babies or health problems don't give you a choice, but for many people, it is a choice to be chained to desks job they hate.
has lots of gravity and truth in it.
and most of them were inspired by Steve.

Agreed that few are relying on Lion servers. But the security flaw is at the side of the Mac client, not the server. If you have Lion clients authenticating against OpenLDAD hosted on, say, a Linux server, then only the username is checked and any password is accepted. IMHO this is a serious security flaw that should be fixed as soon as possible by Apple.

I agree with what you're trying to say here, but I'm not sure that's what she means. To me, it feels like it's more about having confidence. Especially from the point of a woman. Our world is still largely geared towards men. A woman who doesn't show confidence could be at a huge disadvantage. I think having confidence is different than pretending you know everything.
