I remember when the first IPhone came out everyone said, “I’m not getting that”. 70 million IPhones sold later, people are saying the same thing with the IPad. Apple has a way of building things you think you don’t want until you touch it. It’s called “at home good”, products you don’t realize how good they are until you have them at home.
You will either buy one now or want one when you see someone else with it. If you can’t afford it then thats a different story.
If you have been on apple.com lately trying to download XCode 3.1.3 for Leopard, you may have realized its hard to find. Apple only wants to support Snow Leopard now. Use this link below to find the download for Leopard if your like me and can’t find your install CD. You will have to log in with your ADC account.

When you follow the instructions on github to setup a repository you may receve the following error when you try to run git push orgin master.
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
This error means that you need to create a ssh-key. To generate a SSH key on a Mac just type:
ssh-keygen
After the file is created, run
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
Copy the RSA token and go to github under account settings and add the key. You can give it any title.
Try to run git push orgin master and your git will work.
If you just want to connect to an FTP server via mac and you don’t want a robust client, you can use the Finder.
Go to Finder >Go>Connect To Server… Next type this in the input box ftp://ftp.<yoursite>.com.
If your server requires authentication, you can pass in your password and username by typing the following:
ftp://<username>:<password>@ftp.<yoursite>.com.
This will allow you to access your files on a remote host or server.
In the IT world experience in all circumstances is more important than traditional education. The reason for this is most of the training you get in school will be outdated by the time you hit the workforce. Unlike most other fields, you can get experience on your own by just picking a technology and learning. What most people that want to get into IT quickly figure out is that you have to be able to learn on your own to be successful because the field progresses rapidly.
When I decided that I wanted to do IT, I looked at my options and tried to figure out the easiest and most economical path for me to take. After a lot of deliberation, I decided to use the military to my advantage and make it work for me. If I had to do it over again knowing what I now know, I would still choose the route I chose. I truly believe unless you have a full ride scholarship or your family has a lot of money, taking the college route and putting yourself in all kinds of debt investing in something that is not guaranteed doesn’t make much sense financially. I’m not saying don’t do college, I’m just saying consider and research all of your options before making that decision.
With that being said, if you are really serious about getting into IT, get into IT. Don’t wait for a degree, start doing it now. Do some research to figure out which aspect of IT sound interesting to you. Next, read and watch as much as you can about that subject. Also find some groups in your area or online that discuss that technology. The more you immerse yourself in the topic the better you will be. In the IT world people are hired for their acquired and proven skill set not degrees. Once you figure out which area you want to go into I will be able to give you more specific steps to take. Good luck and let me know if you need any more help.
