I have been a frontend dev for about 10 years now and am, both in awe of the pace at which this area is progressing but also finding it hard to keep up to date with all of the available technologies.

From JavaScript frameworks, to new and upcoming CSS grid layouts. How do you keep up to date with all of these, work a full-time job and keep your sanity?

Hey Guys,

Long story short, I'm moving to UK in the next few days, just found out my girlfriend has cheated on me and aswell as this I just need a change of scene.

Questions for the UK guys.

* Where is the best place to move to that is cheap so I can get myself settled in, anywhere at all in the country but possibly just outside London?.

* Where is free wifi and some place I can work throughout the day that is fairly cheap? (I am a web designer/developer).

* Any tips on moving over? I'm just gonna bring a duffel bag and laptop.

I don't mind if I don't get any offers but sure It can't harm to ask. Would anyone have a spare couch so I can crash on for a day or 2? :( Thanks..

Hey HNers,

I got offered a job as a front-end web developer, but will be working with Microsoft technology, notably C#. I code a little in PHP and can understand it quite well (for what I need at the time) but I want to get your guys input for what's the best book to learn C#? Basically I want to up my skills on C# for this role.

Thanks guys!

As everyone else on the planet I'm sure, I would like to become a millionaire and within a tight time constraint: 3 short years. HN is a constant source of excellent articles, amazing intelligent advice and smart people, so how would you go about it? Saving, Stocks etc etc?

And also, please don't ask as to why I want to have a net worth of $1M and why I wouldn't just want to get 200k and live comfortably etc. I'm just interested in hearing people's thoughts about this idea :)

Thanks

Quick one here, I'm on the lookout for a web based solution to store all of my code snippets I have created / gotten from other projects / found online etc. Up until now I have used MS Word, I know I know...

I am thinking about a wiki of some sort but would love to hear any of your choices and suggestions.

I would need the the following:

    + The ability to categorize snippets.

    + A nice code viewer to quickly grab the code I need.

    + Search

    + Hosted on my server.

Was just randomly thinking earlier about how computers are basically built up though layers until it hits machine code. So here's one for you...

How many "layers" (don't know how else to describe it) does the computer go through to hit binary?

Browser < ... < ... binary ?

Here's the story, I have never been very good at maths in school and to be honest, any other subjects really. I could get by, but never pushed myself. School was never the best environment for me to learn, but when I'm studying at home, I like it.

So over the past few weeks I have been thinking about trying to learn mathematics again at my own pace (starting at the basics), what books would you recommend?
