We often have readers ask us questions about specific Facebook applications. Some apps generate an enormous amount of spam and can annoy the heck out of your Facebook friends. Others are outright scams and should be avoided entirely. For example, any application offering to show you who has viewed your profile, who your Facebook stalkers are etc., are guaranteed to be fraudulent. Facebook doesn't allow developers access to the data required to create apps like this.

Welcome to the Programming Dojo. This is a place where you can learn more about programming and programming languages. Programming is both an art and a science. It involves interpretation, abstraction and creation, as well as quantitive analysis, mathematics and algorithmic thinking. Don't expect too much too quickly. Just like many things in life, good things take time.

Just change the table to be your own headings and numbers content (you may make more, or less, rows and/or columns). Resultant table is editable. Click any cell to change its value. Then click outside the table and all other charts change dynamically. Interesting way to create dynamic visualizations

Learning to code is one of the most powerful and satisfying things you can ever do. If you're a designer, learning to code can help you understand what you're creating for, and if you're looking to build a startup from scratch, being a technical founder can make things exponentially easier for you.

Deciding to become a software developer is a great initial step, congrats! The job opportunities are growing quickly and in just about every industry that you can imagine. The best part is that you do not necessarily have to go to a four year university to become a great software developer to lock down one of these jobs. The web has all the resources you'll need to interact, learn, get support and finally find a job as a software developer.

This fall New York City will open The Academy for Software Engineering, the city's first public high school that will actually train kids to develop software. The project has been a long time dream of Mike Zamansky, the highly-regarded CS teacher at New York's elite Stuyvesant public high school. It was jump started when Fred Wilson, a VC at Union Square Ventures, promised to get the tech community to help with knowledge, advice, and money.

But with so much growth happening in Apple's ecosystem (let alone the massive Android market), some pivotal changes have occurred in the developer community. You see, mobile platforms are great, but there's a funny disconnect in the way iOS apps are developed, and it differs from the tradition of software development that has spanned the last few decades.
