    What book are you reading? Right now. Post up!

    NOTABLE! HOT! BOOKS CHAT 
    If you like that book, you'll love the Great American Farm Tour on YouTube :) Justin Rhodes As for myself, I'm nearly done Unscripted. I'll be going through TMF a second time after that. Just finished: - The Complete Software Developer's Career Guide - John Sonmez - The End of Jobs - Taylor...

    Yeah Firebase is a cool solution. It is a NoSQL database, so you don't get relationships between tables like you do with MySQL. I haven't done much with NoSQL, so perhaps someone else on the forum with more experience there would be able to weigh in. From where I stand, your app would be best...

    EXECUTION 
    Yup, though sometimes Google suggested addresses won't have all the info you need, so when you start to get things really going, you'll need to find some incomplete addresses and work out an error-handling strategy. An API is just a website / application you set up at some domain (ie...

    EXECUTION 
    The easiest way is probably to use Google's map API to provide auto-suggest for the addresses. Once you choose an address from the provided suggestions, you'll get the required long / lat from Google's API. From there just store those values in the DB and when you run a query check against those...

    I've only ever gotten so far as to play with their database model utility, which is a gui allowing you to quickly setup database schema. I'm not surprised they use AWS, but when using Back& you won't have to worry about that. That's their problem. You just have to set up Back& and connect with...

    Two Upwork Gigs A Day

    EXECUTION 
    I used to spend a great deal of time on UpWork getting clients as a WordPress developer. Here are some thoughts that may help: Competition appears to be fierce, but... I found that the vast majority of bidders were not much competition. 1. Clients appreciated that I was in their timezone...

    Should I leave my mining engineering job and start something else?

    MINDSET 
    I think the first step would be for you to go completely through the Millionaire Fastlane as well as Unscripted. It's hard to answer you here without repeating what is already in the books. If you have specific questions after you've read them both, I think you'll get more out of this forum.

    Would you like help learning to build your own apps?

    Sorry, reposted in the Learning forums. I didn't notice that forum, and I think it's a better place for this thread. Would you like help learning to code / build your own apps? Mods, please delete this.

    Learning to Program is STUPID! (or SMART?!)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I'm new here, and this thread caught my eye immediately. A few years ago I began my own programming journey because I love to program. I'm glad it has now put me in a position where I can create anything I want, so it's much easier for me to launch a business. Not to say that marketing is...

    Thanks for the reminder, @Tanisha :) Before I worked as an employee I freelanced as a web developer. I remember well the stress that comes with that ;) Thanks, @Get Right - I am grateful to have had the chance to learn software development. I think it will serve me well going forward. Thank...

    Thanks :) I think I'll have to rewrite the above. I'm far from discouraged. When I was laid off, I was actually excited for the change. Having my family to take care of is plenty of motivation, yes ;)

    INTRO 
    Hey, thanks for the response. When I said I had no control over my fate, I meant specifically with regards to whether or not I would be fired. That decision rested solely with the company execs. As for what's next... I'm working on some personal projects that I will offer as a service soon enough.

    Hey all, A bit of background by way of introduction: I'm in my late 30s and I'm responsible for my wife and 3 boys. Several years ago I left a "good job" as a financial advisor at a bank to join a well-known MLM - Primerica. When that inevitably ended in failure, I tried my hand at my own...

    HOT! IMPORTANT! 
    Read it. Loved it. Both books have put to words what I've believed for a long time. More than that, they outline the tools needed to do something about it. Cheers.
