This is not what I was asking for! Infact, we are both programmers. So I wasn't trying to offense anybody!
The thing is that if we get an early investment of 10K (we also want to ask for the less possible that we could need) we dont want to blow it off inmediately on one single guy...
What I was asking is how to invest it the better way possible to finish a prototype? (that is what I meant with cheap)
What I was looking for are things like:
1. Hire a prgrammer for a month for around 5K to help you with the core. You can find them in ...
2. At the same time hire 2 trainees for 2K each and...
etc
1. We are both programmers, but we will need more people...
2. The thing is that if we get a beginning investment of 10K we dont want to blow it off inmediately on one single guy...What I was asking is how to invest it the better way possible? (that is what I meant with cheap)
As absurd as it sounds is basically, in my opinion, because it is really easy to write it! That is to say is human readable! (E.g.: for element in list:)
Furthermore, is the time you spare with testing, compilation problems, etc!What it could take you 1 hour with C++, you dont need more than 10minutes with Python...
It has some problems though! Since it is interpreted it will never be as fast and performant as directly compiled code! Moreover, the lack of type definition can generate some unexpected problems during execution! For that I have a trick...I just put a letter in lower case before the variable to indicate the type to myself (s for string, i for integer, t for tuple, d for dictionaries, o for objects and so forth)
Hi there! No its not. It might look like it. You are right! but that is because we've just upload an old version.
The thing is that it wasn't working that smoothly and we had to take it down for improvements. Furthermore, some IPA issues occured with several OEMs, and we have to clear them first before we switch on the new version.
Design follows form is basically a heuristic for order. We dont say that form is less important, not priorizin either. We are are just implying the logical design order; first you develop the core, then you make it look good! Its just another way more poetic to put it.
I’m also doing a PhD in computer science, in my case in Munich, Germany. Maybe I can give you a good starting hint…
The thing is that if you don’t really need to use full Latex power, I would recommend you to use a very graspable editor called Lyx (http://www.lyx.org). The editor uses Latex core but encapsulated it under an easy user interface. It’s somehow like if you could use Microsoft Word and at the same time generate documents with Latex style. The best of all is that you can copy text directly from Word into it and generate a document. Is what I used to do at the beginning! You don’t need to worry about the encapsulation stuff.
If you are looking for a more powerful editor, I recommend you to use TexnicCenter (http://www.texniccenter.org/).
There are other programs that you should know about such as Jabref (http://jabref.sourceforge.net/) for references using BibTex.
So if I were you I would do these:
1.Install MikTek (http://miktex.org/about): Latex motor.
2.Install Lyx.
3.Check if Lyx is what you need and fullfill your needs. With half an hour, you should be an expert ;-) The most important of all is the text field on the left top corner.
4.If it’s not, install TecnikCenter.
My own personal recommendation is that you don’t waste too much time with it. I mean, as my first boss at BMW used to say, it should be a part of the solution not of the problem. Latex gives vast possibilities, but probably you won’t need to use them all, so don’t waste time on them! Start writing and generating your documents. If something comes up and you don’t know how to deal with it, then google it up. I recommend you this rather than turning to the same book or to the same source. I tried both, and the google approach is much faster.
Maybe you could try to put a filter in the result site.Anyhow, great job!
