It's still two separate apps on iOS too, though this does appear to be a step toward a unified product that's less of a kludge than voice has been on its own.
what ltcoleman said. also, Erica Sudan's IOS Cookbook is pretty amazing if you're already a coder who's profficient in some other language. it's about 3 chapters .. 100 pageish of the basics to get you going and understanding about all you need to work in the language, and then several hundred pages of 20 page chapters on this topic of that - tables, playing audio, whatever.
Yeah in this case it was totally the former, on good terms, I'd highly recommend working at the place post-fire, and many of my colleagues, including the guy who had to do the fire and didn't necessarily agree with me offered to be a reference. I'd be a reference for him as well, any day.
I'm with you on the personal space per employee thing with communal areas being the right way to go, completely. It just seems the new kool-aid to drink is open space big brother/weird style where it seems to be mostly about minimizing sq foot per employee, which sucks, I agree.
Thanks for your comment, it's nice to hear some intelligent feedback :)
I was more or less the same as you, Java instead of C#. Built some of the apps on http://www.codercowboy.com in a few weeks with help from this book, very highly recommended:
