Nein, but you should check out http://xamarin.com/. Cross platform development from the same codebase and the language is C# so less hipster than ObjC. Haven't used it myself but if I were to do mobile development I'd try this first.

EDIT: Holy crap, their pricing is not kind. I guess that's what you get with way too many people willing to spend tons of cash on smartphones.

That pretty cool. I Think 'Unity' does something similar also.

You sure it's not a C++ class and you confused the book title for your grade?

@Kate is gonna be so mad at you. I wouldn't be able to do anything with a D+ so I had to bust ass. Almost all of my classes I have to get C or above.

He cheated and still got a D?

Fred is not a virgin, he actually did some programming. Good for him.

No, but I've spent the last year and a half working on Django projects, which is the equivalent thing in Python.

 

[icemaη]

How much Python do I need to know to work on Django? I've just started learning to work on Rails with Ruby and I've found that I don't really need to know much on Ruby (other than fairly basic stuff) to work on RoR.

The main thing you need to learn about Django is that it needs to be unchained.

The 'D' is silent...

I can't tell you that it's almost nothing. Programming is a skill and in the broader picture computer science is the science that it's embedded in. You need to know about as "much" Python to work on Django sites as you need for anything else basically. And the same thing goes for Ruby/RoR; in fact Python and Ruby are very similar languages and if you know one of them you already know a lot about the other one.

Obviously it depends a lot on the kind of site you want to build. For the most basic stuff you can probably get by with basic Python.

The last time I remember talking to you about Python, I don't think you were working on web apps. Or were you?

I've done a lot of Python, but ever since I started working a few years ago it's been mostly web stuff.

 

[icemaη]

enjoying it? For some odd reason I had the feeling you weren't the 'working type'

 

[swag]

You know we could use good Python guys, Martin.

 

[icemaη]

Now Juventuz has become a job portal?

 

[swag]

You know that my 50,000 posts over the past 9 years here were just a ruse to recruit Martin.

Time for me to start a company and lure Martin to the land of Kamasutra
