Dropbox: Files Without Borders - Forbes.com

Tapping the cloud, Dropbox makes it simple to access documents from anywhere.

No more USB sticks: Dropbox's Drew Houston.

Drew Houston was waiting for a bus at Boston's South Station in December 2006 when frustration sparked inspiration. The MIT computer science graduate planned to work on a coding project during the four-hour ride to Manhattan but had left the USB memory stick with the project on it at his apartment. Instead, he began building what today is Dropbox, a service that automatically synchs any kind of file from one computer to another and to the Web, for easy access and sharing.

What Makes You Stand Out | Clayton McIlrath

Find your strengths and excel above the rest

So many web developers claim to know all when it comes to web, but when put to the test someone that can write “hello world” doesn’t meet the standards the client expected when they said “Do you know PHP?” All developers whether primarily front-end or back-end, should know at least a C level amount in both. To be an awesome back-end developer you need to be able to structure your content in something other than tables or invalid HTML, and to be an awesome back-end developer, you should at least know how to make simple variables and includes to make your job quick and efficient, rather than copying/pasting your doctype and head information on each page. If you want to do well in the next few years, then succeed by being a GURU in at least two of the following:

XHTML and CSS – with clean and valid markup that works in FF, Webkit, and IE7+

Flex and ActionScript – flash/animation/design are a huge plus

JavaScript – with and without frameworks, jQuery or MooTools knowledge a plus

PHP – cakePHP or codeignitor frameworks will take you to the next level

.NET – IIS and server administration a plus

Ruby – Rails will take you to the next level

JAVA – desktop publishing knowledge a plus

Learn new and trendy technologies

While following trends isn’t always a good idea, trends that have been around for more than just a year and have high demand are usually worth taking a second glance at. In the past 5 years, there are a few major trends that are really growing. I highly recommend picking one of the trends and learning as much as you can about the technology on the side of your current studies and work..

Google Wave Preview, let the waves begin

Finally got my invitation with Google Wave. Seriously, I really dunno what to do. :) Hahahaha. All I can say is that the interface is clean and sexy. Not your average Gmail look.

So I tested it a bit and man I can say that is responsive. Like it's really fast.
