Twilio: Web Service API for Making and Receiving Phone Calls, building hosted IVR and PBX telephone applications

We're always building web applications, and sometimes we want those apps to be able to interact with phone callers. Maybe we want a customer to be able to call in and get information, or maybe we need to coordinate our employees more efficiently. Before Twilio, you would have had to learn some foreign telecom programming languages, or set up an entire stack of PBX software to do this. At which point, you'd say "aw, forget it!" Twilio lets you use your existing web development skills, existing code, existing servers, existing databases and existing karma to solve these problems quickly and reliably. We provide the infrastructure, you provide the business logic via HTTP, and together we rule the world.

The R programming language for programmers coming from other programming languages

I have written software professionally in perhaps a dozen programming languages, and the hardest language for me to learn has been R. The language is actually fairly simple, but it is unconventional. These notes are intended to make the language easier to learn for someone used to more commonly used languages such as C++, Java, Perl, etc.

Questions about salary requirements are one of the very few questions guaranteed to come up during a job interview or screening process, as well as almost always cause some severe awkwardness on both sides. Once you've found a great job, how do you demand what you're worth without sounding arrogant?

The web's chock-full of tools to help you gauge a reasonable asking rate, and we've received some pretty sound advice over the years on how to pull off the salary tightrope walk. Follow along for a guide to finding and asking after just the right pay rate.
