Notes This is why people think they can’t learn math

You’ve most likely heard someone, at some point, claim something like “I just can’t learn math, even if I try.” I hear it all the time. Even in business school. As a matter of fact, that’s how I feel some times.

Many people say the same thing about programming. I personally think programming is easier than math, but I also think has to do with the point I’m going to make.

Recently I’ve realized something, when I discussed this with people.

Text Protip: beware the obscure “iPhoneselect” (aka Getting iOS and Google to play nice together)

Having fought a lot of times with iPhone/iPad + Google Apps (Gmail / Calendar) and all that jazz, I thought I would compile a “protip” about this so that at least perhaps a couple of souls and be saved from the dark moments I had with all this.

Same goes with learning Ruby & Rails: to get started, we need some basics we can start tweaking bit-by-bit. Here’s a set of those recipes.

Notes Whose advice should I listen to? – Building relevant knowledge about Entrepreneurship

Caption: This reminds me of the data-information-knowledge-wisdom pyramid.. Source

If what I’ve heard is true, there was a time when Steve Blank and Eric Ries were just guys who had their opinions about startups like the rest of us. Since then, they have become the leading authorities in startup marketing. Will they stay like that forever or will new people become authorities after them with new, counterintuitive ideas (in today’s terms)?
