It all depends on your learning style and what works best for you. You can of course use articles on this site, or maybe you want something slower and with more hand holding? the following are some sites that offer paid courses that you might like: [https://www.udemy.com/\](https://www.udemy.com/) [** Courses | Lets Build That App](https://www.letsbuildthatapp.com/) [** raywenderlich.com | High quality programming tutorials: iOS, Android, Swift, Kotlin, Unity, and more!](https://www.raywenderlich.com/) ** - I have used both of these sites for some reference material. The guy who Lets Build that App also does a lot of YouTube courses as well that you might find helpful. Here are some YouTube Channels that I follow: [Lets Build That App - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuP2vJ6kRutQBfRmdcI92mA) [Kilo Loco - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCv75sKQFFIenWHrprnrR9aA) [Sean Allen - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbTw29mcP12YlTt1EpUaVJw) That should be a lot of information to get you started. Good luck!!!

I personally don't see a problem with this but there are some (conservative and liberals) who take all of this too serious.

No, wife and I already agreed that international jobs would have to come from Europe. :-D :laugh:

Add another $30k, see how far he'll go

that is the same thing that my wife said. :laugh: :laugh: she then followed it by saying if they match that then we are moving!

I had a recruiter who called me yesterday with a position that didn't sound that interesting based on location and I tried to tell him no thanks but he kept pushing. So to end the call I countered his salary requirements and added an extra $30k to it. He said they couldn't match that salary and I told him that was unfortunate. Call Ended. Recruiter calls back later in the day as I am heading out and is now willing to meet salary request. I told him to email me details and that I would get back to him. This morning I have had over 6 calls and various emails from him. This guy just won't take No.

I do it on the side already for my own personal enjoyment already so in a way I guess I would continue. However if my work was for another person to profit then I would expect a piece of that return.

How about because it is funny and this is The Lounge Area? Might want to read the guidelines for posts in this area.

Now I broke the news to my Manager in current company recently and they are giving me a counter offer with Tech Manager role. I don't know about the package yet.

What do you guys suggest now.

Have to ask yourself what caused you to look elsewhere and have those conditions changed? I have only once accepted a counter offer once and it was because I didn't want to leave the company to begin with. In that situation I just wanted something that allowed me to move out of state and be closer to my parents as they get older. I never suspected that my current employer would be able to offer that until I gave them my reasons for wanting to leave. If you are searching for quality of work and pay then I would recommend against taking the counter offer. In all my years of watching those happen I have never seen one last that long.

we celebrate Pi Day every year at our house and this is one of those cool facts that we have shared over the years. last night was our biggest pi party to date and I think we had a couple dozen friends over.

Happy Einstein Birthday as well!!! :) :thumbsup:

have you checked to see if there is a builpack for .Net on Heroku? I saw a few that were out there but not sure how recent or reliable they are. If you can go the heroku route I would recommend that.

He thinks that most developers use MAC which I can not imagine that it would be that common

depends on what your friend works on or even where he works (geographically). I am just a couple of hours from the Bay Area and MacBooks are very popular with developers. I switched to a mac several years ago (MacBook Pro) because there wasn't anything PC related that was compact and powerful like the mac. My macbook pro is my main development machine but from it I can easily to switch to Windows as well as Linux which I do commonly. I spend a lot of my free time working with Swift for both iOS as well as recently Server Side development. Ideally I would prefer to stick with mac and linux but that just isn't going to be the case 100% of the time so I find something that works for me. It's about productivity and how you achieve.

for instance this new thing called the cloud?? I try to tell people that we had all of this 20, 30 years ago. nothing really new but rather a new cool name. :)

I hadn't paid much attention to it at first but I noticed that one of my blog posts was changed to an article in the past week. Tracking User Touches with UIImageView[^] Not sure of the updates that were made to it last week but looks like those updates made also shifted it to becoming an article as well. It's not a big deal either way and just thought to share and maybe learning something from it. :)

Have you tried using google to search for this?? I did a quick google search "google speech api ios" and came up with several hits for things I would start with in implementing an app like this. In fact in the top results I found a sample app from http://www.raywenderlich.com/[^] about doing speech recognition in an app.

when i receive message it only show in alertview not able to see in conversation screen. help me please.

maybe I am missing something here?? In your didReceiveMessage method you are displaying an alertView when the app is active. otherwise you are displaying it as a notification. I guess if you don't want to see it in a UIAlertView then maybe you shouldn't use that?
