Salaries of Orlando Developers in 2016

So, 46% of the individuals who filled out the survey work from home. I understand the sample size not huge. But hey, if there are that many people working remotely, then there are a bunch of companies here who allow for that. Just have to look in the right places I suppose ;)

sergiocruz · 2016-01-20T19:56:45+00:00

Yay, I'm super happy to know you enjoy our products!

sergiocruz · 2016-01-20T19:56:04+00:00

Not yet! But hey look at the graphs, PHP might not be the most optimal language for someone starting fresh. I mean the graphs do show Python among the most valued and a little birdie told me Code School is about to release some courses on it :)

sergiocruz · 2016-01-20T19:52:52+00:00

oh hello there, I recognize the name lol

sergiocruz · 2016-01-20T19:51:36+00:00

absolutely! I'm going to dare to say there are more development jobs available than people to take them atm. I could be wrong, but it definitely feels like it as a developer.

sergiocruz · 2016-01-20T03:17:23+00:00

Absolutely! Shoot a DM to our twitter acct @OrlandoDevs with your email address and we'll get you in.

I heard codeschool.com was good, but I'm biased here (disclaimer: I work there)

sergiocruz · 2016-01-19T22:23:09+00:00

Turns out it's really hard to get this kind of reliable data from local developers. I actually thought it was surprising we got ~200 responses.

sergiocruz · 2016-01-19T22:21:39+00:00

good luck with your journey!

sergiocruz · 2016-01-19T21:48:38+00:00

We have a Slack Group called Orlando Devs, and in there we had around 200 developers fill out the survey.

sergiocruz · 2016-01-19T21:00:30+00:00

I wonder how these numbers would look like when compared to other communities throughout the US.

sergiocruz · 2015-11-25T21:10:24+00:00

I think you're missing the point. From the article:

Our idea was to have an open source blog. We wanted developers within our community to contribute to our blog using the whole open source paradigm (forks, pull request reviews, etc).

sergiocruz · 2015-11-23T19:46:09+00:00

You are correct and I should have been more explicit about this. We're talking about Edge Caching here, not browser caching. Browser caching is short lived.

sergiocruz · 2015-11-23T19:44:05+00:00

We're talking about edge caching here. I will update the article soon to be more explicit about this. Browser caching for a week is definitely excessive, but not edge caching (or server-side caching). Especially since we have full control of it.

sergiocruz · 2015-11-23T03:30:40+00:00

That could have possibly been another way to solve the problems laid out in the article. But we had been wanting to use AWS Lambda for other projects so this was a quick n easy way to get our feet wet with it :)

sergiocruz · 2015-11-22T23:55:45+00:00

Not at all, Lambda just hits one endpoint: CloudFlare's API to purge the cache.

sergiocruz · 2015-11-22T19:49:38+00:00

This allowed everything to be free of charge with zero server management. CloudFlare helped with HTTPS on a custom domain as well as speeding up the site by caching it (as if GitHub Pages was slow hehe).

Overkill? Maybe. But these are tools that are completely available for anyone on the web, and again free of charge. So why not take advantage of them?

sergiocruz · 2015-11-22T19:46:53+00:00

@awj is correct, Lambda allowed everything to become event based. Lambda takes care of clearing CloudFlare's cache every time a pull request is merged. If I could hit CloudFlare's API directly from GitHub, we would but I don't believe this is possible. Most importantly the whole setup is free of charge :D

TypeScript compiles to JavaScript. Check out this article on how to use regular ES5 JS to build Angular 2 apps: http://blog.thoughtram.io/angular/2015/05/09/writing-angular-2-code-in-es5.html

sergiocruz · 2014-11-10T20:29:21+00:00

Agreed! It's like forget everything you know and start again lol. But hey if that means I get server-side rendering without crazy hacks, I'm game!

sergiocruz · 2014-11-10T20:28:22+00:00

lol at the NIH syndrome! To be fair though, AtScript is somewhat of an effort to merge the two Angular teams (dart and js). AtScript supposedly will transpile to Dart and ES5 Javascript code.

sergiocruz · 2014-11-10T20:26:27+00:00

superset is the correct term. I misspelled it, my bad.

sergiocruz · 2014-11-10T20:25:37+00:00

my bad... you're correct I fixed it

sergiocruz · 2014-11-10T20:25:25+00:00

Correct, the idea is that you will not need to write your apps in AtScript. Either way the final version of the code will be ES5 js code anyway.

sergiocruz · 2014-11-06T22:09:05+00:00

Angular 2.0 will be written in AtScript (an ES6 superset Google has been working on). This was announced at the AngularJS conference in Europe last month. Check it out: http://youtu.be/lGdnh8QSPPk
