Many .NET developers working on the Windows platform don’t realize that lots of existing .NET code can easily be ported to all the popular mobile platforms, including iOS and Android. Almost any .NET codebase, including Windows Forms, WPF, ASP.NET, and Silverlight, has sharable code that can be ported to Xamarin.iOS, Xamarin.Android, Windows Phone & Windows Store.

Analyze Github commits to know which convention is popular. Spaces or tabs? I know: stupid question. Everyone knows the right way.

I'm surprised they don't have a mixed tabs/spaces option for Java since Eclipse revels in vomiting that into any file I edit.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

You know. That would look damn fine on a t-shirt. Hopefully this isn't an insult, but you're a better marketer than most of them at the Fish Shoppe.

I don't understand this. Developers makes a lot less than lawyers, doctors, and even if you work for an investment bank, you get a lot less than traders throwing darts.
What's wrong with software vendor charging decent sum of money?
And have you seen what financial data vendor like Bloomberg, S&P, Reuters ...etc or vendor in quant finance are charging? USD 1500-2000 per month for a analytical software is very common - that's per desk, per month.
I, as developer, want make more money.

Huge chunks of the market have been spoiled by OSS, so they assume software (other than theirs) should be free.
Logically I guess I understand it (it's just human nature), but I just don't understand.

Lists like that are so high level as to be useless. Aside from replacing y2k consultant with mobile app developer is there any difference between that list and one from the late 90s?

Sometimes the market drives us to choose one platform (a device, operating system, protocol) over another, whatever our personal technical preferences. We're all pretty well aware of the tech and business issues in a developer's mind when she contemplates which mobile phone to target, if the Windows 8 market is big enough to justify an investment, or if her consulting client insists on integrating an application with Facebook over Twitter. Most of us have to stay in business, or want to stay employed.
But developers often do have a choice. "Let this be the hour when we draw swords together. Fell deeds awake. Now for wrath, now for ruin, and the red dawn."

Application development tool provider Telerik has announced that its cloud-based mobile development tool Icenium now directly integrates with Visual Studio 2012. This integration is for .NET developers who want to create Android and iOS applications yet still use Visual Studio. iPhone (and Android) apps without XCode? Yes please.
