C Refresher
I found this online course that focuses on the C programming language and have started to dust things off. C is what I learned in college and since I’m interested in iOS I figured I would make sure my C base was solid again before I made the jump to Objective C.
Blaze Your Own Trail
After reading my gold post from yesterday I realized that I sounded a bit trendy and just wanted to follow up by saying that you should always do what makes you happy; not necessarily what makes someone else happy. Trying to live someone else’s dreams will eventually get old because it won’t be what you want, so know who you are and what makes you tick. If it’s writing software to solve big problems then now is a great time to get busy.
Software is Gold
It’s 1849 all over again. People are rushing in except this time instead of traveling thousands of miles by horse and buggy with little food, water or shelter, people are having to learn how to develop software in the luxury of their own homes. Software? Yeah…software.
Although gold is still holding at record highs, software, specifically apps (Instagram in this case) are topping $1,000,000,000 each if you build the right thing at the right time. It’s an insanely great time to be a software developer…especially if you can write iOS applications, but really, anything mobile or web is great. It’s never a good idea to try to call a top, but damn it feels like we have to be close with the amount of money that is being thrown around in the tech space. The race is on to get apps out there…the marketplace (app store and web in general) will get more and more crowded and you will have to ignore the urgency to care about what everyone else is doing even more.
It’s a great time to be in software, particularly if you can produce your own things quickly. Don’t be fooled though…just because you can launch a product doesn’t mean you can build a business. Yep, it will take much more than your pick and your pan…it will also take a great team who knows the right people to spam, how to find the right partners and investors and most importantly, the customers. I always thought I would have like to have been a ‘49er.
