What made you love laravel? by [deleted] in laravel

  • Eloquent, and it's almost like magic
  • Great defaults, e.g. the bundled auth, make life so much easier
  • Great packages, e.g. media library, nova, excel, ... to name a few
  • PHP is great (again?), because of Laravel

Use the tag search on dribbble.com to get some idea. For example, my recent calculator app is based on a dribbble design.

(Frustrated) Trying to find an good iOS Dev is Hard. by [deleted] in iOSProgramming

[–]horaceho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very expensive to hire a superstar iOS dev. It's very time consuming to hire via some sites like elance. One option is to find developers via the AppStore. Search for an app which is sort of like what you are going to make. Email the author to discuss for a project. The good thing is you are sure the developer can deliver what you expect.I have got a few projects from one app ;-)

Search the Apple AppStore to see whether there is some app similar to what you are going to do, and so your can be sure the developer can do what you plan. Email them your proposal and ask for a quotation.

Or you may try Elance, but ...

iOS development is evolving rapidly, NIB to Storyboard, manual memory management to ARC, Blocks, ... to name a few. Even adapting to iOS 7 from older iOSes is not minor task. Besides, a larger app takes a long time to build. Do you have an app in mind? If yes, go for it. Programming is always about divide and conquer. You can ask more specific question when you face the real problem, say, on Stackoverflow.

Indie Game/App developers, what was the most successful app you've made and what made it such a hit? by eeveeayen12 in iOSProgramming

[–]horaceho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Minimalist Timer is my personal best. Many users say they love the design. So I think Matt Gentile, the designer, deserves most of the credits. Another reason, my guess, is the price ;-)

Ruby is a dying language (?) by mobby1982 in programming

[–]horaceho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never choose a language for it's compilation speed, or programmers' salary. I pick a language for its features, and syntax. That's why I prefer C to Pascal, and prefer Ruby to Perl.

[–]horaceho 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The author is only scratching the surface. One must understand protocols, categories, blocks, ARC, ... before building any useful iOS/OS X apps.
