The boy back

Is the drone business boomin?

[COLOR=#red]What's good my dude!
It's not booming but it's growing nicely. The hold up is me waiting for my FAA authorization to he approved. I have about 30 days till that happens but I have some high profile assignments waiting till that happens. I've been doing some consulting for companies looking to use UAVs though and I'm just getting started in iOS app development, Android is next.

Still on my trusty Note 4 too [/COLOR]

EWD good to see you back

iMessage is cool man I really enjoy being able to send text when I'm on the train with no data and connected to wifi. Outside of that this phone is weak no where near as "smooth" as my edge plus Apple got y'all boys fooled with excessive animations and unnecessary transitions

 

[verbal kint]

I haven't had any issues with Hangouts and have enjoyed using it instead of Textra. Just wish it was truly integrated to where I can text on my laptop or tablet from my cell number and not my email

It is if you sign up for Gvoice and usev our cell#, as your GV #

[COLOR=#red]What's good King Foam? Happy to be back brother.

But yeah Apple was smart with iMessage. They took a page out of RIMs (BlackBerry) playbook by realizing that the TRUE killer app is in proprietary messaging. Once people invest in building their contact lists via propriet message apps it becomes harder for them to switch platforms even if they are interested.[/COLOR]

I thought it was possible but i guess i gotta make some updates

 

[AZwildcats]

iMessage is overrated to me, but I don't have a MacBook or iPad. Most of my friends have androids, only people I iMessage with are girls and INS

 

[AZwildcats]

I see you EWD, good luck out there

 

[dathbgboy]

If they get out of line out there, just pull out the yoppas EWD

[COLOR=#red]AZ Dub what's good, preciate it bro. Just putting the rubber to the road. Lmaoo @Dath the nerds are peaceful...until you start arguing about stuff like Arduino and Rasberry Pi (real talk, arguments in the tech groupmes are too funny)

Changing gears here's something I found to be interesting...personally I prefer Android, but now that I'm getting into app development I prefer iOS over Android for a few reasons which I'll explain in depth at some point. For one the only real "fragmentation" you have to consider with iOS is stuff like the various iPhones and iPads out.

App dev is something some of y'all might be interested in. It's not something you have to go to college to learn and there's a market for it. Me personally am targeting business and gov't
moreso than consumer but we'll see. Below is a pic of my dev "lab". If y'all need some info on how to get started hit my PM, I'm always happy to help.[/COLOR]

I'm taking my first computer science class after switching career paths and this might be something I want to get into in the future. You're using a....mac?

[COLOR=#red]Congrats on starting the coding/development journey yanky. I suggest codeacademy as a way to learn and practice in addition to your schooling.

Yes for iOS dev I'm using a Mac because I'm using Xcode IDE to create apps. I use my Surface Pro 3 to take notes on OneNote while I'm using the Mac.

Long term I highly suggest investing in a second screen/monitor. It allows for one whole screen for reference and one screen for coding/developing. Of course from there you can split the screens even further with multiple browsers and windows.[/COLOR]

Thanks for the tips. Will look into the dual monitors in the future for sure. Congrats on your move here to SV! Hope you found a place for cheap because rent over here is bonkers. :x

 

[AZwildcats]

Dual monitors came in clutch for my CS classes

[COLOR=#red]Thanks bro, I'll actually be moving there in August, this was just my "scout" trip. You're not lying bro! Prices are crazy for even a small apt, and I've lived in D.C. which wasn't cheap. [/COLOR]

[COLOR=#red]Indeed a life saver lol.


My dudes I think the Note 4 might be the last phone I buy until I'm forced to change. I just bought 2 OEM batteries and external wall charger for $14. My original battery is toast after a year of heavy usage and I probably would have had to send it in for service with a sealed battery. Don't get me wrong I realize there are better phones out now, but they lack a few key features like removable batt and microSD that I've grown to like love.[/COLOR]

 

[JayDean03]

I can't even remember the last time I used Hangouts.

 

[whywesteppin]

good to see you back, ewd.

one can survive without an extra monitor but it just makes things so much better, especially if you're doing any sort of data processing or coding.

as anti-apple as I am, I love the macbook and it works well for a lot of technical things. currently I use an android phone, macbook laptop, and windows desktops, but the great thing about computing now is I can seamlessly transition between them and share files easily. thanks, al gore.

Been using iphone since 2009.

Tried out a note 5 and android tablet at the tmobile store.

Time to switch.

I would go w/ Free Code Camp over Code Cademy, they started charging for some things and the courses are still buggy in some ways. FCC is like a bootcamp that you'd pay for but it's free. Hell, LinkedIn allows you to put the cert in your education profile.

But EWD, I've been looking into web app development but got sidetracked trying to learn C#/ASP.Net and Python.

what? CA ain't free anymore? thats a shame i used them a few years ago, i was getting into python. I stopped like halfway, cuz lazy, but found the experience great, because i never would've imagined an online web based program that teaches a variety of code languages for free.

 

[dathbgboy]

I mean, it still is, but they've been adding things to it where they want you to pay for certain things now, like Code School does
