I would prefer it to be platform independent. I intend to use Python, which I have some experience with. For user data storage, after previous experience with MySQL, a flat ...

I hand-wrote two IBOutlets (NSTextField, NSImageView), made sure to do the "@property" line in the .h and the "@synthesize" in the ....
I just caught one of Google's commercials for Chrome where at the end they mention that it runs on Linux, Mac, and PC. So I started wondering how they are able to develop a program that can run on multiple platforms like that? I have experience with Java, and .Net but only on a windows machine. Java is by design portable, but I wouldn't ...

Otherwise why developers should buy something else. For what reasons developers could use somethin...

I'm biased towards writing fool-proof applications. For example with PHP site, I validate all the inputs from client-side using JS. On the server-side I validate again. On both sides I do validation for emptiness, and other patterns (email, phone, url, number, etc). And then I strip malicious tags or characters, trim them (server-side). ...
