But isn't the whole premise of the article that you're an idiot if you say things about languages/frameworks that aren't accurate?

This is a real problem that many people experience and it's only getting bigger. I'm developing a solution for myself and soon opening it to others. You can get in touch with me on Twitter (@bnjs) if you're interested in joining a closed beta.

> You can be sure North and South will one day unify.

How can we be sure? We know countries unify and we also know that countries split never to be unified again.

I'm looking forward to Brazil and Uruguay's unification.

You mean Uruguay and Argentina, right? :P

Short summary for non-uruguayans: Uruguay started out as the Spanish piece of the land on the eastern side of the river Uruguay according to the treaty of Tordesillas, and became a disupted frontier between Spain and Portugal.

During the May 1810 revolution (Argentinean revolutionaries against Spain), while the capital city was a Spanish stronghold the local leader José Artigas sided with the Argentinean insurgents and founded the United Provinces.

Artigas wanted a federal system, but the Buenos Aires leaders wanted centralism. So Uruguay actually became a province of the Federal League.

When Uruguay announced its independence from Spain, it became annexed to Argentina.

Then Brasil invaded, and it became a Brazilian province for a short time, thus the parent comment.

Yugoslavia will rise again

Some stuff is good for stuff. Other stuff is good for other stuff. :)

Very rough first transcript, I'm ironing out the typos and formatting: http://www.bnjs.co/2014/09/25/transcript-lecture-1-how-to-st...

Apologies for the delayed response, bnjs. Apparently I need to figure out a way to get replies to comments. Thanks for the awesome transcription, I know how much of effort these take :).

Of course I always have my phone!

I run and this is fine with me. I don't go anywhere without my phone anyway, and I imagine GPS on the Watch would mean shorter battery life or bigger battery/watch.

It looks cool! Well done! :)

As others have commented, in my opinion Windows Phone will have a negligible influence on the mobile market going forward. I think it would be a much better investment of your time to start developing on either iOS/Android (or both!) as early as possible.

Good luck!

The future of Windows Phone is solely dependent on how Microsoft executes its universal app strategy. If they successfully launch a way of running the same app on Windows (desktop/laptop), Phone and Tablet (non-x86) then it may be able to come back from the dead.

Unfortunately Microsoft have almost no experience at doing such a thing, they have always lived in their [big] Windows eco-system bubble and that may very well be the thing that stops Windows Phone, Windows Tablet's etc from ever becoming a real player in the market.

The next year is going to be critical to Microsoft's long term success as a platform provider outside of PCs.

It is currently possible to share 90% of the code between a Windows Phone and a Windows 8 app. Heck, it is even possible to write the UI of an app once and make it work on both platforms. The binaries are now the same on Windows Phone and Windows 8 (I think you can submit a single one for both apps), and universal apps are already a thing (you can buy it once and get the app on Windows 8 and Windows Phone).

It's a matter of time before people realize they can use Xamarin to port a Windows app to iOS/Android in a matter of days.

All this craze of Xamarin, I really need to check it out haha

Thanks for your advice!

Already starting on Android devices :)

Application: looks good! Domain name: sucks. I would go with a much shorter name on a different TLD. e.g. 1invoice.co

or just stick with the exact match domain for better rankings in search engines...
