Developer Dark Arts: Magic Strings

Against the Rules Podcast

In a recent meeting, we discussed the value of having a coach in our life. — A coach isn't just someone who specializes in an area we wish to excel in, but someone that has the ability to help someone else succeed in the same way. From that conversation, Zan, a senior software engineer at Zeal, shared the Against the Rules podcast.

I listen to a podcast called Against the Rules that's in the middle of season all about coaches: what kinds there are, how coaching works, why they're important. ~Zan

'Apple Glass' details leaked, will cost $499 and work with prescriptions

A prolific leaker has detailed Apple's forthcoming augmented reality glasses, and says that Apple will call them "Apple Glass"

The future is here! What separates Apple Glass from other technologies is that these smart glasses will incorporate augmented reality, providing a user interface and other graphics as an overlay to the user's real-world view. In theory, this will give users information about the physical objects and locations they see or create an alternate appearance for the same viewport.
