> People should learn two programming languages at the same time
I agree with this. I think its a great way to understand how those new concepts and ideas work in two different universes. Its helped me separate and understand how core ideas and concepts work and how they can work different.
+1 all these replies.
As a designer first, I taught myself to code, Just as I taught myself how print medium works. These details are integral to the end product.
A web designer that doesn't understand code != a web designer.
I think Photoshop should be replaced with Illustrator. for the initial design phases.
1) You can do wireframes in Illustrator, then build directly on top of that for design.
2) Multiple artboards lets you layout multiple screen sizes/breakpoints.
3) Resizing elements and keeping crisp edges is much faster.
Well, they went from allowing you to have a private profile (ie. not searchable and non-friends see no info) to making name/age/gender/profpic/email/friends list public. There's quite some evidence that Facebook is using private messages in targeted ads (meaning the ad buying now knows private information about you).
Please don't mislead people. Ad buyers do NOT receive any private information from Facebook users when they run an ad. They tell Facebook what kind of user they want to see their ads, and Facebook shows the ads to those particular users. There is no exchange of information.
Pretty much what Beagle said. Targeted ads on Facebook are the social network equivalent of a spear phishing email. It's trivial to target a very specific set of even just one individual if you've done your research and then follow them around the web
Not directly, no. But at least in 2010 (last time I did anything to do with ads), you could buy the ad according to your demographics on facebook, and then plant a cookie to correlate to other sources of information.
So, yes, I was able to use facebook to mark specific people (by buying an ad that targets them), and then follow them around the internet by participating in real time bidding on their views.
So even though facebook does not directly sell that information, you don't have to be very smart to indirectly "buy" it from them (and AdNexus and friends).
