Thanks @manuelkiessling

I am really thankful to @manuelkiessling for such a nice tutorial on Node.js. I was always a 'client' guy and afraid of 'server' bullies, but this tutorial made me confident. In one day I can understand few basic stuff and as manuel points out; 'I could build an IPO candidate of .com boom' in a day.

 

the fuss about node.js

Recently, on Hacker News lot of people were coming up with bunch of good things 'in a day' with node.js and other IO sites. It really astonished me everyday; so as a part of new year resolution I have JS on my list.

Last night, I installed node.js, and just got my 'hello world!' from http://www.nodebeginner.org/.

Invest in yourself

I came across this video today from Mark Cuban; I was just surprised how true it was.
It's a reality we should Invest in Ourselves to get BETTER returns. Both money and skill wise; that is some time a chicken and egg problem. To acquire some skills/specialities you need money; but to get better money you need THOSE special skills.

UIAutomation for iPhone

There are lot of tools available for automating iPhone UI testing; but it's always better to explore something provided by Apple.
Here is how you should explore:
1. Watch "Automating User interface Testing with Instruments" from Apple Developer Videos
2. Make sure you have XCode4.2 (After a little struggling I came to know 4.2 has a very good support for UIAT, thanks Cocoa Manifesto).
3. Record ur own test cases and good to go.
4. Alex Vollmer has a nice article which will help to do some REAL code.
5. Refer UIAutomation Reference Collection for more details.

I'll be mostly writing about iOS (iPhone, iPad), Cocoa and some other interesting stuff (for me).
