still the same, man. the fact is it's hard to make it run on my mac and hard to find cheap asp.net hosting just prevent me and some other ppl loving it.
asp.net is a nice platform, i admit but i will still recommend php/rails for beginner.
i think it is a joke, you guys here already mentioned multiplication/division are expensive operations, so a simple hash just works well. and who care the complicated way if the simple way just makes the job done nicely. programming is an art.
i wish he will earn more money doing this way. there is a news here about Quoc Bui and Mike Moon from thefreeapps.com who did earn 80k/month by ads from their iphone apps.
i hope android apps will yield the same.
partially agree, i do believe to become a good programmer takes years but today tech help you to do programming more easily, like PHP and its frameworks. So it depends on how hard the problem you are solving is. Someone can pick up decent html/css lessons in shorter time and build a prototype, he then can hire other later when profit.
completely agree, switching from complex tasks to complex tasks is very inefficient. you will take time to switch your mind again to the context of new task.
