Any CSS coder willing to code for free?

Kiddies? Oh ok, sure. Anders Hejlsberg you idiot. Going and wasting your time on C# and all. Why did you go and make that language so that kids can program.

Compared to him, look at you, you big strong "dark age" developer you. Gosh darn i'm blushing now. "Me strong. I can do with rock (and some serious cardio) what you do with sniper rifle."

You're wasting your time zippy is to pro for us.

lol. actually, I like C#. Just doesnt pay that well :D
 
Its not my pro'ness, but rather the amateurism prevalent on mybb. or designers trying to call themselves developers :D

So let me get this you believe a designer cannot be a developer as well? While im not a designer i do understand CSS pretty well.

And you obviously did not make it into a company that pays well for C# devs, perhaps the interview was a bit to hard for you?
 
What the hell is everyone's issues. Mybb is on its period again.......

OP asked for help,

Help was given to push him in right direction..

Next time you people ask for help, don't expect it.. I did him a favor. What happened to actually being nice and helpful, not ignorant trolls?

Shame mybb

Dude. OP was acting completely arrogant not valuing a developers time at all saying "it's only code".

He got what he deserved.

We generally don't ask for help ;)
 
Maybe so, Internet always turns to flame wars it seems

Dude - he devalued everything that developers do and then went on a crusade about piracy in another thread. What makes one guy's bread and butter better than another? He started, we finished. Help is free. Help because it is worth nothing is not.
 
I assume you are referring to Pro-C and not objective C

Well they pay a lot more for these "dark age" skills. Too many kiddies doing these other languages has driven the salaries down, not to mention the java and dot net factories in China and India. Fortunately they don't really know that much about software engineering so can't adapt to other languages as needed.
No Objective-C. It's a stop gap before the standardisation of C++. Only really used by Apple which should say a lot. And if the other jobs are not paying too well then it's because the companies only need a script kidding to do their programming. Not something you do when the application is mission critical. The skills of someone that's done game development in C++ will always be in high demand. Better than being paid well because there's just not enough competition. :p

My take as well. Could have easily done it for him but the attitude got to me. Could also have handled it like "just code" and give him some quickie instead of a proper job.

iPad and iPhone devs are in great demand in North America and EU. Salaries between £60k and £75k. Not the highest paid, but not too bad. You don't know what you are talking about if you think Objective C is a stop gap language.

It's doesnt feature much in SA, but then the IT industry in SA in miniscule.

I think we all know that there's no such thing as a 'quick job' when it comes to people that want things for free. You can have it quick, good, or cheap. Pick two. You can't have all three.

Then where does it feature except for iCarp?

You would obviously be biased regarding Obj-C its your bread and butter.
 
Interesting post however some of the guys there clearly are also in the dark.

With Sass you can write:

Code:
$class-slug: for !default

@for $i from 1 through 4
  .#{$class-slug}-#{$i}
    width: 60px + $i

which would output:

Code:
.for-1 {
  width: 61px;
}

.for-2 {
  width: 62px;
}

.for-3 {
  width: 63px;
}

.for-4 {
  width: 64px;
}

While CSS by itself you would write each individual... but who actually does that these days. Sass is way more powerfull

Code:
$list: adam john wynn mason kuroir

=author-images
  @each $author in $list
    .photo-#{$author}
      background: image-url("avatars/#{$author}.png") no-repeat

.author-bio
  +author-images

translates to:

Code:
.author-bio .photo-adam {
  background: url('/images/avatars/adam.png') no-repeat;
}
.author-bio .photo-john {
  background: url('/images/avatars/john.png') no-repeat;
}
.author-bio .photo-wynn {
  background: url('/images/avatars/wynn.png') no-repeat;
}
.author-bio .photo-mason {
  background: url('/images/avatars/mason.png') no-repeat;
}
.author-bio .photo-kuroir {
  background: url('/images/avatars/kuroir.png') no-repeat;
}

Didn't hear about sass until this post. You sir are a time saver.

+1 Yeah, thanks for that. :D

There is a ton of free code on the Internet, but it still takes time to adapt it to your particular application, so even then, it's not "just code". I have asked for help lots of times, and most of my friends are too busy (and I don't resent them for that, it's a fact of life), so I just had to knuckle down and figure it out myself.

That's the best way - teach yourself so you don't have to rely on other people.
