50 Best iPhone Apps 2012

April 7, 2012

Here’s a collection of the 50 best iPhone Apps for 2012 thus far.

Before dismissing this because you don’t have an iPhone, know that many of these apps are available on other mobile versions and/or on the web as well.
One of the most useful and valuable apps for me and I’m sure many others in urban America is “GasBuddy.”

GasBuddy provides the user with a list of the cheapest gas prices in the area.
After testing it, it did provide accurate gas prices and I promptly used one of the gas stations listed that had one of the cheapest gas prices listed.
The user can also select among Regular, Midgrade, Premium, and Diesel prices.
(Good news, there are Android, BlackBerry, Windows versions available for this app too. In addition, the user can also check on Gasbuddy.com, enter zip code and use the service directly on the web.)

Another app iPhone users might want to consider, though I haven’t tested it yet, is the Find-My-iPhone app.
According to the description, once installed and setup, this app can locate a misplaced iPhone. In addition, in the unfortunate sitiuation that the iPhone was stolen, it can remotely cause the user’s personal information to self-destruct.

Anyway, overall the apps in this 50 best collection are useful, convenient, and potentially fun-worthy.

Programming and web construction learning is booming!

March 27, 2012

A NYT piece asserts that there’s an upward trend of more people leaning toward technical fields and as a result, people want to understand how it works.

“Inasmuch as you need to know how to read English, you need to have some understanding of the code that builds the Web”

“To be successful in the modern world, regardless of your occupation, requires a fluency in computers,” he said. “It is more than knowing how to use Word or Excel but how to use a computer to solve problems.”

Not to mention that good paying jobs await those who can master these fields.
