There are some developers that work as contractors. Some of them are also freelancers and most of them use sites like UpWork, Freelancer.com to get their jobs. On these websites, clients hire the most skilled applicants to get the job and, after that, they don't see anything anymore. It is time for the hired freelancer to do the job. However, what some developers do, is that they hire a third person, especially a cheaper one, to do the coding for them. Wait, what? Yes, this is exactly what you have heard. They are hired to do the job but they're not the ones who do it. It is often a third person hired by them. Is this an ethic option? Can you hire someone to do the coding for you?

Let's talk about Online Privacy! So, I see a lot of people bragging about online privacy and totally freaking out about that topic. I've seen and read a lot of different things about that. So, I have received this question from a fan of Simple Programmer, asking me what do I do to protect my address online, especially since I have become public like that, creating a YouTube channel and everything. People are really concerned about people discovering their addresses and they are really trying everything out to protect their identities. Bottom line is: if someone wants to track you down and kill you, they will. No matter how much you protect yourself and try to hide your address and everything else. So, what are the best practices for protecting your address online? Watch this video and find out!

Recently, I was with my wife in the living room and she was zapping through the TV and stopped watching Breaking Bad. You know I don't watch TV and I've talked about it several times before. However, I need to confess that this show got my attention. I was drawn to the TV and I started watching Breaking Bad. Here is the show synopsis: "A struggling high school chemistry teacher, Walter White (Bryan Cranston), is diagnosed with inoperable, advanced lung cancer. On a ride along with his DEA agent brother-in-law Hank Schrader (Dean Norris), Walter sees a former student of his, Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul), fleeing the scene of a meth lab. He later contacts Jesse and devises a scheme to become partners in an attempt to combine their skills to manufacture and distribute methamphetamine, with Walter cooking the product and Jesse using his street connections to distribute it. Walter says he wants to provide financial stability for his pregnant wife, Skyler (Anna Gunn) and disabled son, and to pay for his expensive can

A lot of programmers ask me this question: Should I get MCSD certifications? Well, to answer this question, first, we need to address what are MCSD and talk about if certifications are a good way to build a viable (and smart) career choice. For those who don't know, "The Microsoft Certified Solutions Developer is Microsoft's prevailing certification for programmers and application developers. The MCSD covers current Visual Studio versions (for the MCSD: Application Lifecycle Management cert) and also emphasizes HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, C#, ASP.NET, Azure, Web Services and SharePoint. Within each credential you'll find various specialties that focus on specific job roles or target specific application types. There are a lot of options to choose from in this program, which currently includes five different MCSD credentials, including Windows Store Apps, Web Applications, SharePoint Applications, Azure Solutions Architect and Application Lifecycle Management. Depending on the MCSD certification sought, candidat

There comes a time when someone you know will definitely ask you for references. "Oh John, could you please refer me on LinkedIn? I would love to get a recommendation from you." Sure... But only if you do a good job. if you don't do a good job I wouldn't even consider doing it. And you should do the same. Some people like to give references and give people a mixed review. I consider it pointless since it will only harm the reference for the people and talk bad things about them won't do any good for any sides of this relationship.

This can be a really bad situation. Imagine this: You left your previous company but it does own you some stock options. You try to get it right, you call them constantly but they do not respond you. You start to believe that they won't answer you and your stock options will be gone forever. So, what do you do? What are your choices in a situation like this? There are a lot of different things you can do if you want to get your stock options back. One of the strategies you can use to make them get in touch with you is being annoying. Literally. Start calling them, start emailing them, don't lose touch with them. At some time they will become so irritated that they'll give up. Another way is hiring a lawyer to write a letter for you. Receiving a letter from a lawyer might be intimidating and you might end up wanting to do it. So, how fo you make your previous company answer you? Listen to this podcast and find out!

How many times have you had to grit your teeth, take a deep breath and silently repeat to yourself, "The customer is always right"? This is a motto that's drilled into every young retail or hospitality worker, and has somehow made its way into the psyches of established business owners. The problem is, the customer isn't always right, and always thinking otherwise can result in serious disservice to you, as a software developer. There are a lot of different opinions on the internet about why the clients is always right. He is paying you after all. So, what happens when you and your client's opinion get into conflict? Is he always right? Do you need to hear him? In today's video I received an email asking me if he should trust his clients, which was suggesting some really bad changes to the web development project he was designing. What should he do in a situation like this? Should he believe his client and do what he was told to do or should he position himself, tell that the client is wrong and stick with hi

Today we are going to talk about real programming. Composition Vs. Inheritance. Have you ever heard about these terms? How should you choose between these two terms? One of the advantages of Object-Oriented programming language is code reuse. There are two ways we can do code reuse either by implementation of inheritance (IS-A relationship), or object composition (HAS-A relationship). Although the compiler and Java virtual machine (JVM) will do a lot of work for you when you use inheritance, you can also get at the functionality of inheritance when you use composition. As you all know, Inheritance is fundamental to object-oriented programming. A programming language may have objects and messages, but without inheritance, it is not object-oriented (merely “object-based”, but still polymorphic). Composition is also fundamental to every language. Even if the language does not support composition (rare these days!), humans still think in terms of parts and components. It would be impossible to break down complex

Some people like to have a web presence. I've talked several times before about the importance of having a strong online presence when it comes to marketing yourself and building a successful career for yourself. However, there are a lot of different ways in which you can create a web presence and one of them consists in choosing a name, whether it is for yourself or for a brand you're going to create. So, how do you come up with a good name for yourself? How do you come up with a good web presence name? What are the best practices for choosing a good web presence name? There are some things you need to take into consideration when it comes to choosing a good name for yourself. You might want to create a brand that is simple and powerful. Besides that, choosing a web presence name does not mean only creating something that is easy for people to understand. People with names that can suffer from discrimination might also benefit from having a nickname or something like that. So, do you wanna know more about ch

Some people seem to attract the worst situations for their life. At first, it might seem like it is random, but a more profound look end up revealing some actions that kind of justify those things. Some people still have some attitudes that get them in some difficult situations. One of them is doing things that will only harm people that surround them and that won't bring any benefits to both parties. In this video I will discuss a little bit more about doing things that don't bring any benefits to some of the parties involved and why you should be avoiding this type of situations. Aim for win-win situations, not win-lose or lose-lose. Wanna know more? Watch this video and find out!
