xCode iPhone App DevelopmentHere I begin my tutorial on iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad development. It’s surprisingly easy to develop for these device’s if you have a background in programming.

You must learn a new language to be able to develop anything on these device’s and that is Objective C. In this tutorial I will begin by explaining Object Oriented Programming using Objective C.

I wrote and taped a tutorial on OOP using JavaScript. I go into a lot of detail and give a bunch of example’s that explain OOP. You might want to watch / read that before proceeding?

What are Swaps & Derivatives

Puzzled About DerivativesThere has been a nearly constant conversation on this matter for the past year and a half. Here I’m going to explain derivatives, futures, options in an understandable way.

Derivatives were created to help banks, investors and corporations, to manage risk. Derivatives are:

  • Financial arrangements between two groups
  • Payment’s to one of these parties are made based off of the performance of an agreed upon price move of an item.
  • These items can include: Commodities, Corporate Bonds, Currency, Government Debt, Interest Rates, Mortgages, Stocks, etc.

JQuery Video TutorialIn this series of tutorial’s I will show you how to use the amazing JQuery Framework. Not only that, but I’ll show you how to use it to master your Ajax techniques.

If you don’t know, Ajax is an approach to using HTML, JavaScript, DHTML, and the DOM. It allows you to create interactive web applications. When Ajax is implemented with JQuery, you dramatically decrease the complications of implementing AJAX techniques.

Briefly, you will learn:

  • How to Select and Edit Element’s without a page reload
  • How to perform many animation’s live on the screen
  • How to pull text from the server
  • How to pull XML data from the server
  • How to communicate with php script’s on the server, without a reload

JQuery & AJAX Mouse Event Handler’s

Leave a comment

I forgot to cover in depth mouse event handler’s in the last presentation. If you add the following code to my previous JQuery & AJAX tutorial on Event Handler’s, we should be good to go.

You just need to add a little bit of code to implement mouse event handler’s. Change the code where I assign event handler’s to the body to this:

$(‘#theBody’).bind(‘keyup’,checkKeyPressed).bind(‘mousemove’,theMouseMoved);

Learning JQuery and AJAX Part 1

Leave a comment

I’ve received many requests for both an AJAX and a JQuery tutorial. So, I’ll cover them both in the same series of articles, because they work well together. I wrote an earlier article on How to AJAX, but I’ll briefly go through what AJAX and JQuery is in this article.

What is AJAX?

There is much confusion concerning Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX). First off AJAX is not a programming language. It provides a new way for you to use the languages I’ve taught you in previous tutorials:

Indirect Hypnosis

Indirect Hypnosis Shut off the Mind with Ease

4 Comments

In the last article in my indirect hypnosis tutorial, I talked about how Milton Erickson used conjunctions to hypnotize people indirectly. Very specific Conjunctions and other phrases are used to link both the descriptions of what is occurring and the commands. If this doesn’t make sense read the previous Indirect Hypnosis article.

As you read these techniques, think about how often they are used on you by advertising and politicians.

Here is an example using an average political advertisement:

  • Make a statement that is perceived true: “I’m Paul Jones and I want to clean up Washington”
  • Make another statement that is true: “I’m not a career politician, I’ve never served in government”
  • Make a statement that is kind of true: “The (opposition party) is completely responsible for the (insert issue government is blamed for)”
  • Make a statement that is even more untrue: “The (opposition party) is completely corrupt”
  • Make a statement that is all, but completely untrue: “I can fix the government”
  • Make a statement that is totally untrue: “If the (opposition party) is elected, they will rob you of all your freedoms”
  • After the viewer is hit with these statements, a suggestion is made, “Vote for Paul Jones!”
  • If the ad is crafted right, all of these statements will be connected with the conjunctions I list below.

Here is the Milton Erickson process broken down into steps:

  • Talk about a current experience: “As you sit here, listening to the sound of my voice…”
  • Insert a conjunction: I’ll give a ton in this article.
  • Make a suggestion: “You feel more and more relaxed.

How to Get Twitter Followers with a Click

16 Comments

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHgULE1RUtM[/youtube]
Yesterday I promised I would create an easy way for you to add at least 1000 Twitter Followers in a week. Today I deliver on that promise. You can dramatically increase your number of followers on Twitter by just clicking on any of the links in my Blog Roll, which is at the bottom of my right sidebar.

A Warning First

  • Do not try to follow more than 200 people per day
  • Don’t spam your new follower’s to death
  • Read your direct message’s or you will lose follower’s
  • If you don’t follow these rules you may get banned on Twitter
  • Twitter was made to make it easy for people to inform other’s, not to blitz them with advertising
  • Some of the people I have you follow swear. If you have a problem with that don’t do this.

The Idea!

Many people asked me how to increase the number of people that follow them on Twitter. See there is proof I’ll do tutorial’s on what ever you guys and gals want. So I hypothesized that the people that follow the most people would more than likely follow me if I followed them. The list of 1000 Best Twitter Followers can be found here.

How to Get Follower’s on Twitter Free

17 Comments

I’m not putting myself out there as a twitter expert, hence all of the work I did for you here is free. I was challenged on May 8th to figure out how to add 1000 Twitter follower’s in one week. Here I’ll show you how to get Twitter follower’s as well.

I was handicapped quite a lot:

  • I had to use an account that had less than ten current follower’s
  • I couldn’t give away an iPad or anything of value
  • I couldn’t use my website to ask people to sign up for Twitter. (I could however provide a simple link to my Twitter page.)
  • I couldn’t promote my Twitter account on my 80 You Tube video’s
  • I basically had to get the follower’s in the same way a person would that didn’t have a high traffic website, or any other high traffic outlets.

I’m going to change it up a bit with the blog today. I’ve been a Programmer, Stock Broker, Marketing guy and Business Owner over the years and have gained some nuggets of info I thought might be useful to you. This isn’t everything I learned at these positions, just a few bits of knowledge I picked up.

What I Learned as a Stock Broker

Stock Brokers are Not Taught Anything About Investing

I want to start this out by saying I’m not saying all stockbrokers don’t know how to invest money (just a large majority). Continue reading Valuable Knowledge you Don’t Know →
