Facebook and Twitter are two of the most prominent, and many developers have cashed in developing on their platforms. While there's nothing wrong building Facebook games or Twitter-based applications, some of the most useful and promising APIs out there have nothing to do with building apps for someone else's platform.

Instead, they allow developers to create useful and entertaining offerings without having to spend time building the most complicated low-level features.

Saplo. 25 Tips for Intermediate Git Users : Andy Jeffries : Ruby on Rails, MySQL and jQuery Developer. I’ve been using git for about 18 months now and thought I knew it pretty well. Then we had Scott Chacon from GitHub over to do some training at LVS, a supplier/developer of betting/gaming software (where contracted until 2013) and I learnt a ton in the first day.

Consumerist Budget Spreadsheet Balances Your Money, Encourages Your Nest Egg.

@cbalian: I somewhat agree with you, the end result looks like something created during intro to excel class (couldn't even spell "SAVIINGS" right). I think the main point though is that it has been refined over time into something that works for the creators. For myself I tried all the templates, money manager programs etc...

So I perused the net for excel budget templates with nifty formulas, tables, charts etc and learned about pivot tables(which are awesome btw).

Nebraska Fusion Center Implementing New Search Tool. Photo courtesy of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Following 9/11 and the gaps in information sharing those attacks exposed, the federal government began encouraging the development of fusion centers within each of the states as well as major cities to facilitate connecting pieces of information that help identify potential threats. With the access to this new information came the need to develop a simple way to retrieve it.
