Update - The 'devRant trans-oceanic 21st century message in a bottle' community project is progressing nicely.

There is terrific research being done by the team in a slack channel. It is a great fun learning experience.

We have taken the 2000 year old message in a bottle concept and are breaking new ground leveraging very cool technology. We are still in phase 1 but at a high level devRant's much coveted stress ball will cross the Atlantic Ocean in a bottle type encasing.

We will use satellite tracking and gps to track devie throughout the journey. We will use Arduino or a similar microprocessor. We may use sensors and gyros to monitor the surrounding environment for temperature and depth.
We are also studying ocean currents, shipping lanes, weather data and bottle materials to make the journey as smooth as possible.

This is an official devRant sponsored project. We encourage you and any dev friends to join the conversation. Below is a link to the original rant which has the Slack channel info.

The sun never sets on devRant and we love intriguing projects!

Really enjoying Google Hacks from O'Reilly 2nd edition even though from 2005. Has anyone read Spidering Hacks also O'Reilly?

Through Microsoft Virtual Academy, Watched Bob Tabor's awesome C# tutorial.
I used MBA because it had something like a point system which resets every month, made me want to learn more so I end up on top of the list.

newboston was my first teacher

Three years ago, tried to learn some JavaScript, failed miserably. Two years ago, managed to learn some Java through Udacity courses. Last year I started learning native Android development and got my first coding summer job. Now I'm back to learning JavaScript through Freecodecamp and that bitch ain't got shit on me no more!

This site will save you hours of explaining how you can't make every "awesome app idé" that people have!

(Thank me with a stress ball of stress I just saved you 😇)

Dear fellow developers,

please make your software more accessible.

Thanks.
