Two things I would advise:

1.) Try to get into the database as soon as you can. The sugar that's on the front end is interesting, however job prospects require that you can build applications, which in most cases require data manipulation of some kind.

2.) Try to work in an IDE, with the eventual intention to learn the ins and outs of source control. Every job worth its salt has some sort of version control (and the ones that don't will probably try to low ball you).

Microsoft is a dirty word in these parts, but a good (and free!) IDE is Visual Studio. And Microsoft has built a pretty open platform around ASP MVC.

I'm going to assume you have a windows machine, so getting both of those running is a snap.

Here's a good starter tutorial to get you going on ASP MVC: http://www.asp.net/mvc/overview/getting-started/introduction/getting-started

Getting the software installed to start developing is as easy as installing Adobe Photoshop.

Now, if you have a Mac, one way to go is to get MAMP installed (which is an environment) and then start hacking away using a text editor (like Sublime). Php and MySQL maintenance is highly sought after in the city.

Alternatively, you can get going on a framework like Django or Ruby on Rails. The job prospects are...spread out.

If you've got a windows machine, let me know and I can guide you through some stuff. If you're going Mac or Linux, there's others on the thread that'll probably be more helpful.

I'll also add my opinions.

We went on Saturday, Nov 25th, which was the first day it opened and it was, expectedly, packed.

The ice skating rink was decently sized but, like previously stated, was made of plastic. The ice maze was the same where the walls were made of plastic with nothing else to really decorate it. There were local vendors and holiday themed caravel games. 99% of the things there cost money and you should enter with that mindset. The lines were very long when we went and easily went 50 people deep. They had a parking deck open (for a fee, of course) a few blocks down from the stadium with free shuttle to and from running around the clock. They had a Ginger Man decorating station in one of the venue. All in all, the kids had fun, the parents were not impressed and my wallet was a lighter at the end of it.

TL; DR - Go once if you want, kids will have fun. Not worth the $10 admission but use groupon for a cheaper admission ticket. Groupon Link

Yes! There is actually going to be a soldering class sometime in the near future. We are going to be using the St:eak in the class, but you are free to bring your arduino kit and use that instead. Are you on the mailing list? We will post the class there once it gets scheduled.

When I moved into my apartment 6 years ago, I didn't even bother with cable or an antenna, I just streamed everything. But last year around Super Bowl time I decided to get one. First I tried a 25 mile Amazon Basics one, which mostly worked but there were a few channels I wouldn't get without repositioning it. Then I got this. Works SO much better. I get all the basics, and although not everything is in 1080p, I don't have to move the antenna around at all. Then again, living at the bottom of Grimes Hill and having the antenna on the side of the apartment away from Manhattan probably has something to do with that. No picture but it's just sticky tape mounted to the wall. Setup was plugging everything in then walking around where I wanted to mount it to see where I would get the best reception.

I went with the BlackVue DR650S-2CH it's a bit more pricy if you buy it on Amazon but it's always coming up on Massdrop too. It has a Front and rear camera setup was fairly easy for my car, I would very much also recommend getting the Power Magic Pro, this will allow you to adjust record times while parked and will turn off if your battery get to a certain voltage. I just wish the rear cam was 1080, but it's clear nonetheless.

im pretty sure that they do league of legends. looking at their facebook i saw them talking about LCS. and i saw something else with league champs on it.

But I'm not usually one to argue about which is better since its mostly person preference.

learn web development. spend a year working hard daily at it and you'll be ready to do freelance or a shit job (programming still easier than nearly anything else i can think of). Spend 2 years working hard at it and you'll be qualified entry level for like some nice middle class situation where maybe you get to work from home some day or go into the office whenever you want.

Spend a couple years actually trying hard and getting good, and like, the sky is the limit brah tons of companies let you work remotely where ever and whenever you want.

I found an app that has most of the cameras on the island, heres a link to the Google play store if you're on android. There's probably an equivalent version on the iPhone app store.

My daughter bought this shirt on amazon for halloween last year. She wore it with fairy wings. Get it? Staten Island fairy 😂.

>The Staten Island family whose voices tell this story in turns are so real I feel like I've been to their house and eaten their baked ziti.

The Amazon reviews are mostly positive, and also kind of hilarious.
