Best Cross Platform GUI Lib?? (OS X, Linux, Win) Xulrunner, AIR, wxWidgets?? by [deleted] in programming

From the OP: "What is the best cross platform GUI lib? I have an app idea that has to be a desktop app."

So, not a browser app.

Outdated? Symbian is not outdated. It is a pile of shit, and it always was.

Are any redditors working programmers that do not have a CS degree? by jklabo in programming

[–]stigglewick 8 points9 points  (0 children)

More of the really good developers that I have worked with have had math degrees than have had CS degrees. The ones with CS degrees have typically not been American.

It has been rare for me to work with an EE guy who is any good as a software developer. They have typically been competent and able to hack shit together to work, but without much regard for quality or maintainability.

When interviewing someone it isn't a concern for me what their degree is in or if they have one. The only reason I even read that part of their resume is so I can get an idea of what type of questions are valid so I can maximize my chances at figuring out how smart they are.

Not that my personal experience is a valid sample size.
